The American Needlepoint Guild is the leading organization for needlepointers.

Our guest this week is Lisa Crespo, president of the American Needlepoint Guild and owner of Accoutrement Designs. We also welcome our first sponsor, the San Diego Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild. Be sure to visit sdang.org to learn about the many programs and workshops this 200-member chapter has coming up. You don’t have to be a member or live in the San Diego area. The chapter lives up to its “Educating and inspiring the art of needlepoint” mission statement by being 100% long-distance-stitcher friendly.

Lisa’s long-term tree-skirt project.

Lisa Crespo is at the helm of ANG at a time when the organization is undergoing a complete overhaul as the member works to build awareness and enthusiasm for needlepointing. In this week’s show we talk about the ANG’s overall changes, new website, magazine upgrades, the 2018 Seminar and the Encore program, and the role the association-management team is playing in taking ANG to a new level.–Gary and Christine
