Did you know there is an index to Needle Arts? Currently, it has entries from the very first issue through September 2024 and can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet in a couple of locations. There are two ways to access it:
If you go here: https://egausa.org/product/needle-arts/ and click on the bold-typed “Click here to see the Needle Arts Index of past issues.”
You can also go to Document Downloads and search for Index. It will show up as “Needle Arts Index - Updated September 2024.”
Both of these should be good into the future, with the name of the latter being updated when the Index is updated.
