Recognition (Charm) Awards

 
image These awards are given to encourage participation in projects presented by Needle Artists by the Sea Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild and to encourage excellence in stitching by learning.

To receive a recognition (charm) award, you must be a member of the NAS Chapter at the time the project is presented. In the case of a workshop, you must have participated. The recognition (charm) awards are to be given upon completion of a project with stitching completed but not necessarily finished; i.e., framed, made into a pillow, etc. If you stitch multiple pieces of the same design, you will receive only one charm.
