Free Charts from ANG (for a limited time)

Pat reminded me that the American Needlepoint Guild has a large group of free small charted designs they call "Holed Up Minis" available on their website.  These are from well-known teachers like Marilyn Owen, Debbie Rowley, Kathy Rees, Pat Mazu, Toni Gerdes and Sue Reed and more!

These won't be available forever, so take advantage of ANG's generosity and download the ones you like now, then rummage in your stash to see what you can create.

Visiting Old World Designs

Shops are getting very creative since many of us are stuck at home.  For example, Old World Designs  has a shop walk video on YouTube that allows us to see the shop and enjoy the Kathy Schenkel truck show.

Here's the shop website, but if you live in the Menlo Park, CA area, stop in and tell them hi from me.
