President’s Message
A special "thank you" to Tamara Willis for the extraordinary job she did
in presenting the March Program, "Overlord" Slide Show.
Let's all keep stitching our quilt ornaments. Our goal is to stitch as
many ornaments as possible for chapter fundraising, to be sold during the
Quilt Show, August 31 and September 1-2. I look forward to seeing more
creative, fun, and exciting ornaments each month.
There are even more upcoming stitching events. The Del Mar Quilt, Craft &
Sewing Festival is May 18-20. The Shoreline Stitchers Showcase is an ANG
Judged Needlework Show for Professional, Master and Non-Professional
Stitchers, on Saturday and Sunday June 3 and 4. Check out the Pacific
Southwestern Region website for more information. And we always look forward
to the San Diego County Fair, which starts this year on June 10.
We plan to have two Potluck Stitching Days – Memorial Day, Monday, May
29, from noon to "whenever". Then again on Tuesday, July 4, from 10:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., we will stitch in the Clairemont Community Room. I am looking
forward to some dedicated stitching time!
Remember! Library Books are due back at the April Meeting!
Happy Stitching! Karen
Del
Mar Craft & Sewing Festival
The Del Mar Craft & Sewing Festival will be held Thursday, May 18,
Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. This
commercial show is a wonderful opportunity to promote membership in our
chapter. The show hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Vendors will offer supplies in Quilting, Sewing, Needle Arts, Beading,
Books, and all kinds of crafts. Our local Embroiderers' Guild and American
Needlepoint Guild chapters will have a booth again this year, and we will
need approximately 30 demonstrators to man our booth during the three days.
For 2 1/2 hours of demonstration time in our booth, you will receive free
admission to the show. So sign up to demonstrate and promote our chapter!
New this year--free admission for guild members! Get your

Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours to Tamara during the chapter meeting.
These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit status. All
volunteer hours count, even if for an organization other than EGA. Thanks to everyone !!
