Greetings to all Indian River Chapter members! It is my privilege to thank Donna McFarland and her committee for the wonderful and well-attended embroidery display at the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science. We can all be proud of the exhibit and we are grateful for all that the museum did for us on the evening of the opening. It was wonderful. Our appreciation also goes to Christine Kampmeyer for instructing the Calla Lily Trim class at our meeting in February. She really made it easy for us to understand. Her comments on various types of ribbon and braid were enlightening and her source books most informative. (We all want to buy them for ourselves.) Kudos to you Christine! At our meeting in March, we hosted the Space Coast Doll Artists with their gorgeous display of dolls and their finery. Too bad we couldn’t keep any dolls for ourselves. I guess we will just have to make some of our own. All the ladies were so good at showing all of us the various techniques to making and dressing their creations. Our nominations for the Gold Thread Award are due as soon as you can. Please write, call or email your choice. This is a most prestigious award to a member who exemplifies the ultimate stitcher, stitching techniques, service to our chapter and help to our individual members. LET’S HEAR FROM YOU! Our satellite groups are alive and well. Just remember their meetings on the Tuesdays of the month are another chance for us to fit some more stitching into our busy schedules. Please remember that April and May meetings will feature a choice of scissor fobs. Bring your stitching tools; kits will be provided, or you may bring your own thread color selections to the meetings. The finishing of the fobs will be done in May. This is your chance to do some other stitches and some Hardanger. See the Program section of the newsletter for more details. I am so thankful for the wonderful camaraderie and helpfulness that our members show to each other. We stitch, sew, car pool, share our homes and even give life experience advice; all this with kindness and compassion. What more could we ask for in our association with the Indian River Chapter of EGA? With sincere regards, Aline
We will be exhibiting our work at the Satellite Beach Library, coordinated by Ginny Gilbertson. Please bring any and all of your previous work for exhibit for the month to me at the April General Meeting, at any other functions during that month, or give me a call to arrange a pick-up. The shelving area is huge so we need to fill it to the brimg. Christine suggests this is an opportunity to represent all of the needle arts, esptecially the unusual ones that are rarely seen at our other library exhibits. Lastly, be sure to stop by and see some of the unusual needle work our sisters have done.
