Stitch Sloth Launches

Ilene just announced Stitch Sloth has gone live!  It is an interesting way to connect with other stitchers and use their inventory software.  Read the fine print, though.

No Tariff on Canadian Needlepoint Supplies (NJNA)

The latest newsletter from the New Jersey Needle Artists chapter of ANG is out.  The really important news is that if you buy needle art supplies from Canada, as long as you spend less than $800, tariffs don't apply!

https://blog.njneedleartists.org/2025/03/09/whats-happening-at-njna-3-8-25/

That's great news if you are stocking up on threads or kits from Colour Complements.

https://colourcomplements.com/

The newsletter has plenty of ANG news, classes, new products and more.   As always, it's a fun read and informative, too.

Woodlawn 2025

Woodlawn Plantation's 2025 needlework exhibit is nearly over.  It's held (usually) each March and brings together a lot of needle art for people in the Washington, D.C. area to enjoy.  You can see photos of the major award winners and a list of everyone who got ribbons on the Woodlawn website.

Melita made it to the first day of the exhibit and was able to post lots of photos.

Hit the Road!

Now that winter is (mostly) over for those of us in the USA, KC Needlepoint is posting tips for taking your needlepoint with you on a trip.  There are links to buy the items they mention, of course, but the advice is good.
