Appraisers for Needlepoint

 I will list all the appraisers who appear to have needlepoint experience I've heard about here, in alphabetical order.


Cindy Lee Gershin is Needlework Appraisal.  Here is her website.

Cindy did  an interview with Fiber Talk about judging and appraising needlework. She's certified in all these areas. This is a two part interview. The first is Cindy talking about judging needlework, what judges look for, how to improve your stitching with competition in mind, etc.

This podcast talks about appraisals, why you might need an appraisal, and how they work.

The YouTube followup has Cindy showing photos of her work to explain what to look for if you are getting a piece ready to exhibit in a judged show. The discussion starts at about 13:30 timestamp.
