President’s Message
Carolyn Standing Webb’s lecture with slides and hands-on pieces was
fantastic at last month’s meeting. What a great teacher who was more than
willing to share her knowledge of White Work with our chapter members. The
people that attended the Diamond Pomegranate workshop got lots of stitching
pointers. Those of us who stitched with her on Sunday at open stitching
enjoyed seeing pictures of just a few of the many beautiful pieces she has
personally stitched. I would definitely vote to have her teach another
workshop in the future. She is well versed in many techniques and a joy to
work with.
Final sign-ups for the EGA Group Correspondence Course, Liesel-Schwalm,
will be at the October chapter meeting with the $50 instruction fee due at
the meeting. We are planning on starting the project at the January 2013
chapter meeting. The teaching fee will be funded from the Shirley Fetterolf
Legacy. Once we get the instructions, we will look into making a group
purchase of materials for those that are interested. We plan to stitch the
piece over 6-8 months, before sending it in for teacher evaluation.
We received an acknowledgement letter from EGA for the contribution made
in memory of Shirley Fetterolf.
Special thank you to the three members of the nominating committee; Gini,
Susan F., and Ina for their hard work in putting together a slate of
officers for 2013. Elections will be at the November meeting with the new
officers installed at the Holiday Party.
This is your last chance to purchase an Opportunity Ticket for a framed
print of Jan Jellins’ “Golden Retriever”. Tickets sell for $5.00 each or 5
for $20.00. Drawing will be held at the PSR Fall Region Meeting in November.
Proceeds will go to the preservation and exhibitions of the incredible
collection of stitch paintings by Jan Jellins that are now owned by PSR.
Tickets are available at the meeting.
The Evergreen Chapter had enough Soldier Kissing Pillows for this
deployment by the time ours were collected and boxed. We currently have 46
and will continue accumulating for the moment. There is another deployment
scheduled for Spring 2013, and Evergreen is requesting help gathering
another 3000 pillows, so don’t stop stitching.
If you are looking for something new to stitch, you might consider
something for the San Diego County Fair 2013. The theme has been selected
and is “Game On!” There are Home and Hobby ribbons to be won for your
entries.
Keep those needles flying and you’ll have lots of UFO’s completed in no
time, and that is our meeting focus this month. Hope to see you there.

Muchas Manos, EGA and San Diego ANG are co-sponsoring Margaret Bendig’s Drawn Thread Sampler, Desert Dawn on January 23-24, 2016. While stitching this drawn thread sampler you will be reminded of the soft pastel colors of a desert morning. This workshop is an exploration of drawn, with-drawn and interlacing stitches, as well as counted thread stitches, pulled thread stitches and composite needlepoint stitches.
