Lustik Needlepoints for Sale UPDATED

Great news for fans of Kevin Lustik's funny needlepoint originals--he's putting some up for sale through Wilder Nightingale Fine Art!

http://www.wnightingale.com/artists/227

If you like sly humor and fun needlepoint, take a little browse.  Don't dawdle, though.  Two pieces have already sold.

UPDATE:  During March 2026 Jadite Galleries in NYC will be displaying and selling Kevin's art.  (And they sell on their website, which is a great way to browse the show from a distance.)

If you aren't familiar with Kevin's original designs, use the search function in the upper left hand corner to see more and learn more about Kevin himself.  Or read this interview with NIU Alumni Association.

Google Strikes Again

If you are trying to look at the Monthly Clubs tab at the top of the page, you'll get an error message because Blogger has removed it for "violating Community guidelines."

What did I do?  I added a new link to a new monthly club.  That apparently triggers an automatic removal these days.  This has been happening for over a year now with any of my tabs with lots of links to needlepoint knowledge.  I update something, it gets removed for no real reason, I ask for the decision to be reviewed by a human (I think the removal is done by Ai), and it'll be restored later today.

So please be patient and try again late today or tomorrow.  

I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about this.
