President’s Message
Beading is so much fun and we all enjoyed the beaded needle case
presented by Karen Herndon. Thank you, Karen, for a wonderful new technique.
The San Diego Quilt Show was profitable. Our chapter cleared slightly
over $500 after expenses. We are grateful for all members who participated
in giving time to raise money. Our chapter cannot exist without those who
volunteer their time and energy.
Pre-registration for the Anchors Away, Off to Play PSR Regional Seminar,
from May 7 through 11, 2007, is going on now through September 29, 2006.
Don't forget to sign up for your classes and the cruise. Happy Sailing!
During our October meeting we will be selecting a nominating committee to
form the slate of officers for 2007. The nomination and election of chapter
officers is the responsibility of all members and if you would like to help
or would like to nominate a member, please let any of the current officers
know. Remember our chapter has existed for 30 years and relies on volunteers
to continue with a bright future.
Be sure to check out the new look of the EGA website at
www.egausa.org.
Happy Stitching! Karen

- Our September program, Praying for a Cure
pocket, is a gift for all members: the chart, fabric, threads and other
supplies – there is nothing for you to buy or bring. And it carries such an
important message, for all of us, our friends, sisters, mothers, aunts,
cousins . . . all of us. Karen Herndon will teach.
- In October's program, the we will be working
on the Bargello Pine Tree Stocking. It is a beautiful softly shaded
design of a stylized forest. You can just imagine acres of trees in snow,
with a starry sky above.
- Congratulations to Heather! She was the lucky winner of the
Christmas tree opportunity drawing.
- Sign the Petition for a Needlework Commemorative Postage Stamp.
The Embroiderers' Guild of America, as a whole, continues to pursue the
creation and issue of a commemorative postage stamp to acknowledge and
recognize embroidery and all needlework – which, of course, we all love, and
has been a favorite past-time of American women since – well – the beginning
of America and, even before. There is much more information available at the
national website. The
goal is to have a stamp available in 2008, the 50th anniversary of EGA.
Sample letters to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee will be available
at the chapter meetings.
- Don't forget to support the businesses that advertise in our chapter
