I am currently attending the National Academy of NeedleArts (NAN) Assembly in Troy, MI. The Exemplary (exhibit of needlework) is spectacular! I am speechless. Mixed media, Goldwork, Japanese embroidery, professional and non-professional pieces. Fifteen pieces were shipped and over 100 pieces on display. As an appraiser of NeedleArt, I tend to worry about how we undervalue our work. Please keep in mind, just because you added insurance to your shipping, without an appraisal, you might be surprised.

Sending a huge, albeit late, thank you to all the members of the Fox Chapter, ANG for such a wonderful, warm welcome last month. Attendance was crazy! 130 members and I believe there were 75-80 members at the meeting. What an amazing, talented group of stitchers I met, with interesting well thought out questions on the appraisal process and why the need. Wish to send a special thank you to Missy Taphorn, Kathy Matthews and Sandy Switzer for making it all happen.

Heading to Chicago to give a lecture to the Fox Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild tonight. Looking forward to meeting everyone, seeing old friends and exploring the need for appraising needlework.

It has been way to long since I last posted. Those of you who are friends on my personal page know December, January and February of 2017-2018 were miserable. Lost not only my mother-in-law but one of my dearest friends as well. Had pneumonia and the flu all wrapped up together. By March life was moving forward.

April through September I had the pleasure to appraise a number of wonderful needlepoint pieces. I love when clients see the final report for the first time and realize just how valuable their Needleart is (when valuing based on replacement value for insurance coverage). Making a change, one appraisal at a time.

If you have any questions about what is involved in appraising your needleart, feel free to contact me.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!

Many of my Facebook needlework friends have been asking how to best protect their needlework when disaster strikes. Please feel free to contact me, through Facebook or visit my website: timelessneedlearts.com, with your questions.

After three months of researching, writing and rewriting I finished and mailed off the requirements not only for my (well overdue) Master Level Appraiser of the ANG-NeedleArts Appraisal Program, but simultaneously completed the requirements for recognition as a Senior-Master Appraiser as well. What a great feeling to have these two mile-marker Levels completed. Now back to the business of appraising needlework!

Hey Mary D Smith, thanks for looking at my site. Hope you enjoyed my class at NAN and all is well with you.

Hard to believe it is May and Mother's Day already. The first five months of 2017 have been busy and no slowing down, which is always good.

I graduated from the NeedleArts Appraisal Program (NAP/ANG) and started Timeless NeedleArts Appraisals in 2006. At my 5 year anniversary (2011) I was eligible to submit requirements for my Master Level Appraiser. In 2016, if I had completed the Master Level, I could have submitted for Senior Master Level Appraiser. So, because I love a challenge, I decided to work on both Master and Senior Master requirements simultaneously. Lots of reading and writing, but no arithmetic! Hope to have both Levels completed within the next month and ready for display at the California ANG Seminar in August. Keep you posted.

At the National Academy of NeedleArts Assembly in Troy, MI. Taught a 1/2 day class on appraising needlework yesterday. Always love watching the light go on when needleworkers realize the possible worth of their pieces.

Just completed an extensive appraisal! Feels great knowing you have helped someone see their needlework as art and that it should be protected by insurance.
