Award Winner | Bergen Record | Read our Blog | Have you seen our new ad in Needlepoint Now or Needlepointers? We advertise each month.  Eileen Aird, the previous owner of Ridgewood Needlepoint, was awarded a second-place prize for her submission to the American Needlepoint Guild Exhibit, which was held in Nashville, Tennessee. The prize was awarded for L'Ete ("Summer"), a needlepoint piece of a girl at the beach. Eileen attended the Guild Exhibit seminar, which was attended by over 1,000 stitchers from across the United States and abroad. L'Ete was entered in the category of Painted Canvas with A Stitch Guide, Professional. The canvas, which was designed by Birds of a Feather, features a girl, surrounded by shells, sea grass and sand, at the beach in the summer. The stitchguide was done by David McCaskill who suggested the stitches and threads utilized. The needlepoint canvas was stitched using a variety of threads, including silk, silk and wool, over-dyed cotton, cotton plus rayon, and mohair. A wide variety of stitches were used to give the picture texture and the feeling of a sunny day at the beach. Vanessa Holloschutz  Website © Ridgewood Needlepoint 2006.
