Fall is definitely in the air! Two of my boys are off at midwest
universities, and so it should be calmer and quieter at my house, shouldn't
it? I should have more time to stitch, right? It seems that reality doesn't
always live up to expectations. My house is as chaotic as always and I
haven't worked on my seminar project since the plane landed in San Diego.
The seminar in Louisville did live up to my expectations. I had a
glorious week filled with stitching and eating and friends. We were able to
visit EGA Headquarters, which was a wonderful treat. We saw all five
completed panels of the National Tapestry hanging and it is breathtaking.
Stimulating classes, meeting with old friends as well as making new friends,
and I even got to spend a day with Michael. He and his roommate drove down
from Purdue and we visited the Louisville Slugger Factory followed by a
wonderful lunch. I'm looking forward to sharing my seminar goodies with all
of you, and seeing what the rest of you brought home.
As the year winds down, don't forget to keep those finished UFO's coming
in. Karen has some wonderful prizes planned, and they will be awarded at the
Holiday Party. Also at this meeting we will be seeking volunteers for the
nominating committee (trust me, it is an easy and rewarding job). Please
volunteer as you are able. Volunteers really are the heart of this
organization, and without the dedication and hard work of many hands, the
guild would cease to function.
I hope we can all find more time to stitch!
