What's Happening at NJNA The End of June 2025?

As usual, the New Jersey Needle Artists ANG chapter has tons of ANG news, both local and national.  But that's not all!  You can visit the new people Moore Stitching is creating (the canvases are printed but very well done), the mahjong mat, Ruth's new Halloween tree club, and The Needlepointer's Halloween cookie club.  Warning:  Gone Stitching has made thread shopping a lot easier with their website update and Needlepoint.com has four new map canvases.  Hide those credit cards!  Especially since there's a new needlepoint store in Maine.
