I'm so excited to officially be able to announce a new teaching piece! It is only available as an American
Needlepoint Guild Correspondence Course.
Inspired
by the incredible work of Jean Hilton, Spirit of Jean is the result of
my admiration and respect for the great contribution she made to the
needlepoint world. In using many of the stitches she created, this design is my
tribute to her and I felt her spirit as I stitched it. Several colorways are
available (http://www.needlepoint.org/CorrClasses/classes/spirit-of-jean.php).
One of the great things about an ANG Correspondence Course is the ability to send your work to the instructor for a critique (it comes back to you!). You don't have to send it but it's a wonderful educational opportunity.
You have to be a
member of ANG to take the course - you can take it as an individual or your Chapter may elect to take it as a Group. You don't have to have a local ANG
Chapter to be a member. I personally don't have a local chapter and am a
member of CyberPointers - you can get more info at http://www.cyberpointers.org/.
Carol T. was one of the pilot stitchers and stitched the "Green Tea" option - I love that it looks like a completely different piece! At the ANG Seminar exhibit, I overheard some ladies talking about my "two different pieces" that were hanging together. I couldn't resist pointing out to them that they were in fact, the same design!

I was thrilled to get my first orders this week as the new Correspondence Courses were just recently announced. I designed and stitched this piece more than a year ago and it was a real challenge for me to not share it sooner.
