Need a Needlepoint Appraisal?

Labels: appraisals, appraisers, The Needle's Worth

I just stumbled across the website for The Needle's Worth, which is Willette Vaughn's website for her needlework appraisal business. She's in south Alabama I think.

I know ANG certifies needlework appraisers so if you are a member, you might look at their website to see if any are listed. A local museum with a large textile collection is also a good place to ask for recommendations.
