Textile Artist has a Stitch Club you can subscribe to but their newsletter is free of charge. A recent edition had an interesting article on basic photography for fiber artwork. You can access it at: https://www.textileartist.org/how-to-photograph-textile-art
In 2022, I took a photography class from Jennifer Riefenberg at the ANG Seminar and heard it again recently in a Zoom class How to Improve Photos of your Needle Art through the EGA Fiber Forum. It was my suggestion they invite her because you have to be juried into the Fiber Forum to be a full member by submitting photos of your original work. I am a Friend of Fiber Forum because have I not wanted to go through the process (maybe at some point). I picked up new tips I had not heard the first time. So, contact Jennifer if you are interested in a Zoom talk/workshop for your group. And, watch https://needleart.org/assembly/ for the photographs she took of this year’s National Academy of Needlearts Exemplary winners. There were some stunning pieces.

I couldn’t find a ball of DMC #8 Pearl cotton in a particular color locally. So, I ordered it from Herrschners in mid October. I was surfing the website and found a garland of Christmas lights on plastic canvas. So I ordered the kit as well. I couldn’t get just one ball of DMC #8 Pearl, right?!? I had Bill put the kit away and today I opened it having forgotten all about it! I have a string of wooden light bulbs. These will be cute too.
Since I am not ready to be a full member of EGA’s Fiber Forum, I signed up for EGA’s Friends of Fiber Forum ($10/year) https://egausa.org/fiber-forum/. It’ll be a great start to see what goes on with the group.
I also got a year (4 issues) of Fiber Art Now (https://www.fiberartnow.net/). The website has tons of things to explore once you subscribe including their digital archive.
Quite a diverse selection! From plastic 7 count canvas to fiber arts.
