TNNA's Needle Arts Mentoring Program

Barbara Bergsten just reminded folks on Facebook that TNNA has a needle arts mentoring program to help spread the love of handwork. It's a great way to entertain and teach kids over the summer school break, too!  Anyone who is a member of a local ANG or EGA guild (or even a shop) might want to use these resources for a stitch in for kids.

Thanks for the reminder, Barbara!

A Halloween Pillow, Black with Polka Dots

This "Things That Go Bump In The Night" pillow is fabulous! I don't think the finishing could get any better, so here it is for you to enjoy.

The design is by Amanda Lawford, by the way.

Amanda has a smaller version of the same design for those who need something a bit, well, smaller.

Hebrew/Yiddish/English Alphabet Canvas

Pepita has a fascinating new design that is a picture Hebrew alphabet. You can see the canvas here. It's also available in Yiddish and English for those who prefer another language. Neat!
