Needle's Excellency
By Janie Swenson July 03, 2008
I first started taking classes from Amrita in the mid-1970's and I was so thrilled after the first class, that I decided to take them all, even if I couldn't complete the projects immediately, because I knew that I wanted to eventually return to the home of my birth; the Pacific Northwest. I subsequently completed most of the projects while enjoying the memories I had, learning from the most talented and skilled, needle artist I have ever met, i.e. Amrita Goldberg. The time I spent in her shop under her instruction is a highlight of my life, and I am most grateful for her friendship, albeit too short lived, and for the skills she taught me that I have used and enjoyed for years after I moved. I am now at the end of my life, and I still remember with great fondness, her shop, her skill, and her immense talent that she so generously shared with all of us. Thank you, Amrita ...and my God continue to bless you always. ...read more

Il Pozzo Dei Furbi was a hilarious comedy of errors performed by very talented comedians. Botanic Garden was also a play fit for a more prominent venue. The next season promises to be filled with more great plays, and I look forward to seeing them all. ...read more

I've visited other needlepoint stores, both many other states, Illinois included, and The Needles Excellency is head and shoulders above all the others. This is due completely because Amrita Goldberg, artist extraordinaire teaches classes, sells canvases and fibers and anything a needlepointer would ever need. Gail McGraw ...read more
