Hearts for Hospice was initiated in 2015 by the Greater Kansas City Needlepoint Guild to fulfill a need a local Hospice center. When a resident passes, a stitched heart is placed on the door which notifies those passing by to be respectful of friends and family in mourning. The embroidered heart is then given to a family member so it may become a cherished remembrance. In November of 2019, the guild reported that they had donated over 1,400 hearts, from 26 states, to three local Hospice Houses and one of which is a children's home.

Amadeus & Friends

Amadeus & Friends is a timeless classic that was originally designed and taught by Connie Ann Root in 1994 for her EGA chapter, Corning. Some fifteen years later nostalgia crept in and Connie was invited once again to share her classic design for canvas. Members who hadn’t finished it in 1994 joined new members as they began their own Amadeus & Friends journey which uses the ever popular Jean Hilton stitches, hence the name.

The 27-page pattern is full of comprehensive illustrations and instructions where Connie has combined stitches with a wide variety of thread textures and some open canvas to create a piece with a great deal of visual interest. The stitcher will lend her own creativity to this 8” square design by selecting her own colors of mono canvas, Watercolours, #5 Pearl cotton, Rachel and Kreinik #8 braid.
