This weekend, the Crosby Mansion in Brewster, Massachusetts, has been decorated for the holidays as a fundraiser by the Nauset Garden Club. In the room with a theme of "A Stitch in Time" is a Christmas tree decorated exclusively with my cylindrical ornaments.
More than 60 of these "little people" grace the tree. They're in good company with samples of hardanger, blackwork, cross stitch, rug hooking and crewel embroidery displayed throughout the room.
I'm told the cylindrical ornaments have prompted questions including "How long does it take to make one?" and "What's inside them--a toilet paper roll?" At least I'm doing my small part in making needlepoint more visible to the general public while helping to raise money for a worthy cause!

What a great way to support your community and, at the same time, spread the word about needlepoint.
