If you are a shop, request cones for large projects or the traditional spools by contacting Fleur De Paris.  If you are a shop and want Kreinik on the new cards, contact Rainbow Gallery.

The New Jersey Needle Artists chapter of ANG is reporting all the needlepoint news in their area, especially from ANG.  There is a lot of shop news this time, too, as well as a source for needlepointed padded coat hangers, new canvases from our favorite designers (Hey, they ALL are our favs!), and tips for items that do and don't need extra rows around the outside edge.
