Happy Dessert Day!
What is your favorite dessert?
I love tiramisu (Italian's favorite dessert). I've never had Sacher cake, from Austria but I have tried Baklava, from Greece and the Middle East. Can you guess what is American's favorite dessert? Hint: Needlework Retailer hands it out to exhibitors at the Nashville Needlework Market.
The origin of the word dessert comes from the French “desservir,” a word which here means “to clear the table.” This, of course, referenced the dish that came after the clearing of the main dishes served as part of the meal.

Shift10 Day
#SHIFT10Day was created by Scott’s Marketplace in 2016 to encourage shoppers to shift 10% of their spending into their local economies. It all started with an online campaign aimed at building awareness for the shop local movement, and even the opportunities for shopping locally online. Our local communities are made of our friends and neighbors, and who better to support with your shopping dollar than the people you live with and see every day? Click here is find your LNS (local needlework stores) listed by state.

Mentors—Maria & Jane
Artist Sabrina Zarco created six embroidery designs to honor strong, independent woman who taught her that needle and thread can tell a story, keep us warm, or create the latest fashion. Jane was Sabrina’s teacher mentor and friend who taught her the basics of sewing as a child. These original hand embroidery designs were a collaboration with Global Artisans.
