Do You Need A Designer for Church Kneelers?

Recently someone on Facebook needed a designer for cushions for their church. Folks helped with lots of names so I thought I'd capture them all here. They are listed in alphabetical order with contact information.  Note that I've only listed people who specialize in ecclesiastical designs as that is very different from someone who just puts your design on canvas.  These folks understand everything about organizing and financing your church project to the special imagery you will want to include.

Peeking Through Joan's Window

Joan Eidman of Fiori shows off her studio during her annual thread sorting party.  Alas!  There don't seem to be refreshments but there is a great brick cover lion from Susan Roberts and three Melissa Shirley dragonflies.  There is also a pillow and a seat cover that I can barely see but I think are Joan's own designs.

I hope the next time Joan puts away her threads by color she invites us over.  I'll bring the drinks!  (in covered cups to protect the stash)

Joan Reports from TNNA

If you get Needlepoint Now, you have been admiring Joan Eidman's St. Nicholas canvases which are being featured in the magazine.   Joan got to go to Market in January (she's a professional musician whose performance schedule means she often is busy during Markets) and luckily reported back on everything she saw and did.

Joan's company is Fiori and is distributed by Dreamhouse Ventures.
