The 47th Annual Festival of Trees has been going on since the beginning of the month and continues through December 29. It is an indoor exhibit of decorated trees by various community groups and individuals. New Jersey Needle Artists (NJNA) tree theme this year is “Stitched with Love”. Check days/hours open at

These are the heart ornaments that I contributed to the NJNA tree and shown unfinished in the September/October 2025 issue of Needle Pointers talking about hearts from past issues published originally in the early 2000s. They were designed by Michele Roberts.  See also https://melitastitches4fun.com/2025/09/16/hearts-from-the-2000s-in-timeless-treasures-from-the-archives-in-the-september-october-2025-issue-of-needle-pointers-magazine/

I did the finishing which wasn’t easy because they were done on 10 count canvas.

Bill and are visiting the display after attending the ANG Central Jersey Chapter (CJC) Christmas luncheon on Saturday (Bill will hang at the nearby library). Then, dinner at a favorite NJ restaurant.
