Clementine Hunter, Artist

Thanks to the Quarter Stitch in New Orleans, I learned about an online biography of Clementine Hunter, famous for her folk art depictions of Creole blacks in the Cane River area of Louisiana near the border with Texas.

The shop sells a lot of her licensed artwork on needlepoint canvas if you are a fan.  Some of her designs are on their website but they have many more which are not.  Please inquire at the shop for details.

NJNA Goes to New Orleans UPDATED with Melita's and jan's Visits

Some of the folks who belong to NJNA (that's the New Jersey Needle Artists chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild) are going to ANG's Seminar in New Orleans that is happening this week.  Here's their various reports posted to the NJNA blog.  I'll update these so you can follow along with their adventures, organized by classes if possible.

Here is Nancy Cucci's class, "For the Love of Chocolate."  Tasty!
