I love needlepoint & have been stitching since I was taught by my grandmother when I was young. Once I found ANG, American Needlepoint Guild and learned 30 stitches in my first correspondence course, I never looked back. I've designed my own pieces, been published in Needle Pointers and 2017 Chapter Project Book, and have taught at a few ANG chapters. I'm looking forward to sharing my needlepoint and connect with other stitchers. blogging at http://melitastitches4fun.wordpress.com/ I’m a needlepointer who began collecting pins to place into my needlepoint pieces as a decorative way to display them, wear them, and then display again. In my wanderings around flea markets, I have collected at least 500 pins (most are inexpensive & unsigned). I know now that most will never make it into needlepoint pieces – I can’t stitch that fast! But, I am fascinated by vintage jewelry & want to show you the gems I’ve found & learn more about this field. blogging at http://pinsations.wordpress.com/
