You never know when or where you might encounter another Stitching
Sister. I was reminded of this last week. I was stitching while on a school
field trip when another mother asked a few questions and our conversation
was off and running. It turns out that she belongs to a couple of needlework
guilds, and takes canvas classes regularly. When I mentioned that I belong
to Muchas Manos she brightened up and said, "Oh, the one with the great
website!" Angelina Hendricks' time and talent in maintaining our website
really does get noticed and really does make a difference.
Don't forget that our March 24 meeting will begin 15 minutes earlier than
usual, at 6:45 p.m., when Margaret C. will start instruction on her original
design, Golden Pomegranate. We will slip items of business in between and/or
after Margaret's instruction, so don't think you can avoid announcements and
chapter business discussion by arriving late!
Finally, please keep making more Soldier Kissing Pillows! Our military
men and women are still being deployed all over the world, and stories of
the comfort they receive from these small keepsakes abound. Heather Cowan
will bring more kits to the March meeting. This is an ongoing project, so
keep stitching.
Enjoy the arrival of spring and daylight savings time with an extra hour
for STITCHING !! Ina
April
