Sister Hummel
Throughout nearly thirty years some of JCA's most popular designs have been those created by Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. JCA holds the exclusive rights to produce Sr. Hummel's designs in needlework, and each year one or more new Hummel embroidery kits is added to the Needle Treasures Collection. These embroideries reflect art work that Sr. Hummel created during the years 1931-1946; 1931 being the year she became a postulant at the Franciscan Convent at Siessen in Germany, and 1946 being the year of her untimely death. Berta Hummel, her birth name, was born in 1909 in the town of Massing in Lower Bavaria/Germany. Sr. Hummel's artistic heritage is still administered by the nuns at the Siessen Convent and marketed by ARS AG, Zug/Switzerland. Our Needle Treasures Christmas line, due to come out in March of 2009, will feature another design by Sister Hummel.

One of the ladies from my cross-stitch group has a mom who bought the "Sunny Weather" Hummel pattern long ago and had started to stitch the project. The daughter is now taking over finishing it up, but the pattern is so tattered she can't read it. Who would you suggest she contact to get a replacement pattern so she can finish it for her mom? Please contact me at dawnofhope74@aol.com. I can pass the information along to her.
