Fellow Stitchers
Hope you enjoyed our recent Anniversary Meeting. Another year has just flown by and we all wonder where the time went. Well I am here to tell you!
Last year we accomplished so many projects both together and separately. We celebrated them in November at our Super Show & Tell and celebrated our friendship at our Holiday Party. And now 2010 is half over already. We have already added to our stash in January, worked on "My Mini Sampler" in both February and April, and, of course, we learned Kumihimo in March. Together all of us made boxes in which to give our gifts to others in May. We should all look forward to finishing the mini sampler in June with the cutting band as well as learning a bit about how to "finish" a sampler to be ready for this year's Super Show & Tell.
I know many of us are finishing up our two bracelets in our GCC "Color Play." The bracelets are a color frenzy!!! We look forward to having a second GCC this year if others can join us.
Donna McFarland has planned exciting things for July through October. Christmas in July will be a great gift or table decoration, August is the time to stock up on new (to you) books at the Book Sale, and I know Donna has something up her sleeves for September and October that no one will want to miss.
It is a joy to stitch together at our various groups. We have attempted to stitch out in "public" more and will continue in the months ahead. Read your emails for details. There are 5th Tuesday nights in June and August that we will meet to stitch again. If you are out of town, stitch in that place's public area.
And I do hope you are all saving your pennies (and add a few dollars) to go to Flamingo Fandango right here in sunny Florida in Naples in 2011. I keep squirreling mine for this.
Look in this issue for a "who dun it" sampler opportunity starting very soon at a home near mine - oh, that's right, it's AT mine. Thanks so much to the Wasatch Chapter for this opportunity to continue our work on samplers this year. However, this one we will finish NEXT year.
And don't forget the President's Challenge - finish up those class/workshop/seminar projects that are crying out to be done. I hear the refrain: finish me...finish me pleassssseeeee.
I've been accused of writing too much so I will quit while I'm ahead. I really look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the meetings to come. We haven't had as much chocolate this year but I think we have enjoyed our stitching together just as much. I'll have to go back to Hershey, PA this summer to get re-chocolated. Hope you have good plans for summer also.
Hope to enjoy stitching (and emailing) with you soon. We can have chocolate and have fun together at EGA.

Library Reviews Submitted by Christine Kampmeyer The Embroidery Studio Series 400 and 500 Videos The new video tapes in your library are a great source for a new technique or learning a new stitch. The new to us videos The Embroidery Studio Series 400 and 500 are a fun way to learn. Stitch along with Shay Pendray and enjoy learning that new stitch. There are episodes on Hardanger, Cross Stitch, Ribbon Embroidery and Gold Work, just to name a few. Also included on the tapes are visits to museums and various artists.
