Melita Goes to NAN 2025

Lucky Melita Glavin has gone to the National Academy of Needle Arts' seminar in Michigan and is reporting in for the rest of us.

NAN hasn't started yet so Melita visited two (The Knotted Needle and the new location for The Wool and The Floss) of the four shops in the area.

Melita met several interesting people at the opening banquet and has lots of news for us, including the fact that Diane Herrman's "Walking the Water's Edge" is being retired but the instructions will be sold to benefit NAN.  Great news!  If you aren't familiar with this design, check out the second link below.

The New Master Teacher (NAN)

The Nantional Academy of Needlearts (NAN) just awarded Dianne Herrmann her Master Teacher's Certificate.  You have to do various things to achieve this certification, including creating an expertise piece.  You can read about Dianne's design on the NAN website. It's quite a story!

Stitch and Listen to (or Watch) Fiber Talk

Fiber Talk has three new interviews with needlepoint designers available. First up is Lorene Salt, counted canvaswork designer.

Lorene creates amazing geometric designs.  You can browse her designs, classes and available charts here.

The second interview is with Diane Bertelson.  Her name may not ring a bell, but I bet her company name, Pepperberry Designs, does!

Browse the Pepperberry website and prepare to fall in love there, too.

The third is with Diane Herrmann, teacher and designer of the iconic "Walking the Water's Edge."

By the way, Fiber Talk did a video tour of Sign of the Arrow which is on YouTube.  Hint: it's not just another needlepoint shop.

Kudos to Gary and Christine for making wonderful needlepoint audios and videos.
