Filed under: ANG Needle Pointer's Article, ANG New Jersey Needle Artists Chapter, Festival of Trees
After joining the Central Jersey Chapter today (or hanging out at the library), Bill and I enjoyed the 47th Annual Festival of Trees. They have some great trees decorated by community groups and individuals that are on display through December 29. Check days/hours open at
https://www.somersetcountyparks.org/environmental-education-center . It’s at 190 Lord Stirling Road in Basking Ridge, NJ.
The New Jersey Needle Artists (NJNA) tree theme this year is “Stitched with Love”. Lots of lovely ornaments!
I was thrilled to see the 6th of Susan Portra’s Cabochon series, Faith. I do have the instructions but haven’t gotten to stitch it yet and am curious to see which member did.
There are some silly trees.
And, elegant ones.
There are some wonderful crafts on display.
A very enjoyable day!

Hi Melita,,
This is a lovely post! Would you consider posting this on the NJNA Facebook page? For those of us who won’t see the exhibit in person, your photos and text are wonderful…
