November 2022 Show and Tell
A variety of needlework was exhibited by our members at the November meeting. Yes I said November, already! Christmas trees, quilts and sweaters are signals that the cool weather is coming. Here are some photos:

Members exhibited two items at the September general meeting:
Karen P. showed this surface embroidered ornament finished as a star by NANI friend Karen J.
Marjorie H shared this piece which was a gift for her recent birthday. Fiber artist, Laurel Izard, from Michigan City Indiana, created this design using quilting and embroidery. Her work has focused on endangered species represented by the painted and embroidered macaw. Stitching provides wonderful texture in the bird's body and beak.
Thank you, ladies, for sharing these works.
Join Needle Artisans on Wednesday, September 21st, for a "sit and stitch" at Redar Park in Schererville from 10 am- 1 pm. This is an informal outdoor gathering under the shelter. Bring your project and stay as long as you like. This will be the final outdoor gathering of the year.
Hello needle art friends! The Needle Artisans had an eventful summer. Here is an overview.
The June and July general meetings were spent in fellowship and stitching. Show and Tell netted these beautiful pieces.
Becky M. showed her scissor fob of a tree pattern finished with lovely tassels. It is stitched one over one, one thread over one strand of fabric. Becky quips she probably won't do that again; one and done!
Greetings!
Several members displayed their needle art at our May 2022 meeting.
This scissor fob was exhibited by Lynn U.
Becky M. stitched this beautiful motif on linen.
And finally, Angela M. shared her needlepoint piece of a bear in the woods.
Our next meeting is June 7th at the Social Center of Community Park in Munster. Doors open at 7 pm, meeting at 7:15 pm.
