Second, we’ve launched our first ever teespring! You can now order a fabulous t-shirt featuring our new, quillwork inspired NWIA symbol. All proceeds from this teespring go towards supporting The Barbara Laronde Award. And, by the way, we’ll be announcing the call for applications for the second annual award next month!
You can also donate to the award directly on our website.
