It’s that time of year again!  Get ready for the Needle and ThREAD: Stitching for Literacy Bookmark Challenge!

In case this is new to you, needlework shops around the country are collecting hand stitched bookmarks to be donated to local schools and libraries.  The program began in 2007 as a means of needleworkers recognizing the importance of literarcy and supporting our youth during Children’s Book Week.  This also give us stitchers a chance educated the public about needlework.

If you would like to participate, but don’t have a local shop, I would be happy to receive them from you and include them with our shop donation.

To learn more, Jen Funk-Weber, who started the challenge has a great website and will be blogging almost daily about how the Challenge is progressing.  Her website is www.jenfunkweber.com

Will update my blog on all my activities.  Have been away so need to catch up.

Hope everyone has been happily stitching. . .
