President’s Message
Thanks to Tamara for teaching the Eight-Sided Tufted Pillow finishing
during our May program!
The Pacific Southwest Region (PSR) Meeting took place on June 3 and
classes were announced for the Region Seminar May 7-11, 2007. Take a look at
the website www.psrega.org
for class descriptions and cruise registration. Pre-registration for classes
is September 1-29, 2006, so mark your calendars!
The ANG Shoreline Stitchers Showcase Needlework Show and Exhibit at
Loyola Marymount University was spectacular. Over 450 pieces were on display
including several from our members Gloria Fedor and Gini Moore.
Don't forget to stitch a quilt-theme ornament for our chapter
fundraising. We would like to have at least two ornaments from each member.
Remember this is for our chapter fundraising during the Quilt Show August 31
through September 2.
July 4 plan for another fun day of stitching and food starting at 10:00
a.m.. Please join us in the community room and let's enjoy a quiet holiday.
Happy Stitching! Karen
2006 San Diego County
Fair
It's always interesting to wander through the Home and Hobby displays
when you are a creative person and especially part of a stitching
organization like our guild. You may see that someone has stitched a design
or a chart you already own, inspiring you to start it, or somebody else has
finished one of our Group Correspondence Courses. For Guild members the
recognition of other members' accomplishment is something we all look
forward to. And so – Congratulations to Gloria! She won a first for
Wakefield, and three seconds for the Stained Glass Pillow (GCC), Study in
Gold and Silver, and Copper Hearts. All of these were beautiful, Gloria!
Gini was awarded third place for Christmas Memories (a CATS class) and
second place for Honey, I Shrunk the Wreath, and a first place for the
cross-stitched Green Man on a hand-dyed fabric.
We want to mention also a first place winning beads-on-canvas design of
tropical fish stitched by Herb – husband of our member Sandy, and Margi's
dad.

- In the June program, Karen Krampe will lead
an informative discussion of all the "Gadgets You Need to Know About"! She
has the inside scoop on every gadget you could imagine. If you have any
unusual or old tools or gadgets, bring them along for a Show, Share, and
Tell.
- Our July program, Finishing Quilt Ornaments,
will help us reach our quilt ornament goal. We will be finishing our
stitched quilt-design pieces to hang on a small tree. Bring your sewing
machine, if you can, and invisible nylon thread, felt, ultra-suede, ribbons,
buttons, beads, charms, glue or anything else you think you may need to
complete your ornaments. Remember you will get one ticket for each ornament,
for the opportunity to win a veritable Pandora's Box of goodies to enhance
your collection of stitching supplies. It has been announced that one of the
items included is one ticket towards the drawing for the expense paid trip
to the 2007 National Seminar in Chicago.
