President’s Message
On behalf of all of our members I want to thank Margaret Cobleigh for
last month's wonderful stitch painting program. I am hoping you are all
having as much fun as I am in bringing those pansies to life. I never cease
to be amazed by all the talent that exists in our chapter. It is only
rivaled by the generosity of our members in sharing their time and talent
with fellow members.
Our display at the Rancho Penasquitos Branch Library is getting rave
reviews from library staff and patrons. Thanks to Sandy Higgins and Margi
Thornburgh for putting together such a beautiful display and to everyone who
generously lent us their pieces. We will have the use of those cases for two
months, so start thinking of other pieces you'd like to show off. Perhaps
you'd like to share your entries from the fair?
Keep working on those kissing pillows. We have six completely finished,
so we need only 14 more to meet our goal of 20 pillows to be ready for Camp
Pendleton by our September 24 meeting. Sandy Higgins will be available at
the July 16 and August 20 open stitching evenings for help with finishing of
the pillows.
May your stitches be many – your frogs be few. Ina

- July will feature Karen Krampe offering a
hardanger class in your choice of a snowflake or tulip motif. Both are
simple, will take about 2 hours to stitch, and do not require cutting your
fabric (yay!!). Bring a 5" square of 22 count hardanger fabric and any color
of overdyed floss. In October, Sandy Higgins will lead us in finishing the
ornament over a button form. You can use these finishing techniques for any
round design UFO that is smaller than 2 1/2" in diameter.
- In August, Margi Thornburgh will present a
beading program, of either an eyeglass holder or scissors fob. She has
acquired kit materials, in your choice of gold- or silver-tone, which will
be available to members for $2.00 for the eyeglass holders or $3.00 for the
scissors fobs. Bring your own beads in your favorite colors.
