I had a such a great time meeting those of you who came to my class on Friday--thanks for being there and for contributing so much to the discussion. I hope that you'll come back to dig into our collections in the future. In the meantime, as suggested by one attendee, I've put together the following list of magazines and books that I had in the classroom, for your reference:
Embroidery: The Journal of the Embroiderers' Guild

Remember that these books are just the tip of the handicraft iceberg here at the Library. Don't hesitate to ask if you want help in finding particular materials. And also, please let me know if you have specific requests for future classes and programs. I'm always looking for ways to match your interests so don't be shy!
Thanks again! And if you didn't make it to Friday's class but would be interested in future classes, stay tuned because our next season's schedule will be finalized soon.
Thank You and Invitation
Jessica, I would like to thank you for your posts. I recently discovered the work you did as a Guest Blogger for Design*Sponge and I loved it. Your pieces were written in a fun, engaging voice and were so informative. I loved the Design by the Book post (and the video on the NYPL site - all the artists were great but I especially enjoyed moontreepress) and the Moderne Monogramme post.
I would like the opportunity to share a new project I have started for artists. The Thursday Sweet Treat project is new but attracting the attention of incredible artists who are creating amazing new works. Would it be possible to speak with you and share some more information about it? I would also love to see if you would be interested in the "Artist PlayDate".
It is my hope that we have an opportunity to speak. Till then, please keep writing and sharing!
