One Hundred Years From Now

If you are interested in early 20th Century embroidery, you'll want to read Mary Corbet's review of the latest book in Gail Marsh's series on embroidery techniques in various centuries.  The fact that this book shows the connections between British embroiderers during this era got me thinking.  Will our connections via the Internet, guilds and classes be the subject of books a century from now?  I hope that the folks who preserve the World Wide Web's information are paying attention to us, the needlepointers of the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st Centuries!  Our stitching will outlive us, but will our words?

Counting and Classes in Baltimore

Needle Delights Originals had a wonderful time at the Baltimore trade show.  She shows off her newest designs here (plus more crab cake photos).  I am sooooo hungry!

Robin is back with a bit about her Baltimore Sunday.  She taught a class at Ruth Schmuff's shop, cleverly located not far from the hotel where the trade show was held. Then she shopped and has posted photos of the goodies she took home as a memento of a really good day.

However, the big news today isn't about the trade show, it's about Ridgewood Needlepoint.  The store has a new owner!  HURRAH!  Eileen, I will miss you a lot but retirement has its charms.  We all wish Vanessa a great time with the shop starting next month and Eileen a grand new adventure.

Robin's Saturday in Baltimore UPDATED

Even though Robin must be exhausted from selling, laughing, teaching, eating and just looking at everything, she is still reporting on her time at the Baltimore trade show.  Here is Saturday Part One.  I'll update this article with the rest of Robin's Saturday once she has time to get home and write about it.
