Study Time at Quail Run

It's time to buckle down and study at Quail Run, which is preparing three new classes to help you toward your doctorate in needlepoint.  There is a piece with two folk art angels, a Red Santa and a cat with a quarter moon, all being turned into unforgettable works of art.  So if you are looking for a fun class, this might be just what you need.

Folk Art Magazines Online

Fans of folk art (I'm looking at YOU, Kate!) will enjoy browsing the new online collection of magazines from the American Folk Art Collection, newly digitized and made available at the public.  Here's a bit about the collection.

Mamon with Flowers

Peggi from Tapestry Fair has her little folk art animal from the Philippines back from the framers'.  It turned out great.  I have to admit I thought this was a beaver but Peggi says he's a sort of cross between a cartoon character and a mascot.  Whatever you think of when you look at Mamon (which is also a sort of yellow sponge cake in the Philippines as well), he's darling.
