Become a Mentor

The National Needlearts Association (TNNA) has a needle arts mentoring program, which I just discovered existed from reading Mr. Squiggee's blog. You can learn more about the program, how to become a sponsor or donor and how to set up such a program for kids in your area from their website.

Wouldn't this be a great Christmas gift to your community, particularly if your local guild chapter participated?

Ecclesiastical Needlepoint at Saint Michael and All Angels' Episcopal Church

Whether you are Christian or not, I thought you'd enjoy looking at photos and a video about the needlepoint decorations at Saint Michael and All Angels' Episcopal Church in Denver. Colorado.  They have a lot of photographs of church events on Facebook but this is the only stitching photo there I could find.

On the other hand, there is a nice video of the church interior that showcases their Christmas decor.

The website has information about St. Clare's Needlepoint Guild which has created the needlepoint decorations for the church.  The church has a Christmas tea in December each year that showcases their unique stitching if you happen to live in the area.
