I'm writing this after spending a wonderful day stitching the Golden
Pomegranate. What a relaxing, wonderful gift a day of stitching with friends
is! I want to thank Margaret C. for designing and teaching such a wonderful
project, Karen Krampe for setting us up in such a great room and all the
ladies present for the laughter, food and fellowship. And Gloria Fedor for
bringing her delicious meatballs!
In EGA we have many opportunities to spend a day (or even more) stitching
with friends. The region is sponsoring two GCC classes: The Swiss Sampler
and Crewel Choices. Members may register for one of these, and the region
will pay the teaching fee. Forms may be found on page 6 of this newsletter
as well as on our Yahoo Group site. Make sure Gloria Z. (address on
registration form) receives your complete registration form along with your
check for the text fee by May 15.
Are you still stitching those Kissing Pillows for our outreach? Remember
this is an on-going outreach. If you need some motivation to complete more
Kissing Pillows, check out this television report on the Evergreen Chapter's
Kissing Pillow Outreach, posted to the EGA list by Debby C., that chapter's
president. Here is a link to the clip:
