A Needleart Judge's Reference

Crafted in collaboration with more than 15 NAN‑certified judges, A Needleart Judge’s Reference serves as both a practical guide for judges and an educational tool for stitchers at every level of experience. This 60‑page handbook provides concise, technique‑based insights—delving into history, materials, hallmark features, and what judges look for in many styles of needlework. The revised 2021 edition also includes vital guidance on non‑technical aspects, such as writing artist statements, organizing exhibitions, navigating judging contracts, and handling logistics for children’s categories—all enriched by a curated bibliography for deeper exploration. Available in print (first published in 2013, updated in 2021), A Needleart Judge's Reference is an invaluable resource to add to your collection today.
