On behalf of all of our members I want to thank Margaret Cobleigh for last month’s wonderful stitch painting program. I am hoping you are all having as much fun as I am in bringing those pansies to life. I never cease to be amazed by all the talent that exists in our chapter. It is only rivaled by the generosity of our members in sharing their time and talent with fellow members.
Our display at the Rancho Penasquitos Branch Library is getting rave reviews from library staff and patrons. Thanks to Sandy Higgins and Margi Thornburgh for putting together such a beautiful display and to everyone who generously lent us their pieces. We will have the use of those cases for two months, so start thinking of other pieces you’d like to show off. Perhaps you’d like to share your entries from the fair?
Keep working on those kissing pillows. We have six completely finished, so we need only 14 more to meet our goal of 20 pillows to be ready for Camp Pendleton by our September 24 meeting. Sandy Higgins will be available at the July 16 and August 20 open stitching evenings for help with finishing of the pillows.
May your stitches be many – your frogs be few. Ina
Be sure to turn in your volunteer service hours on our sheet at chapter meetings. These hours are vital in helping EGA maintain its non-profit status. Thanks to everyone !!

- July will feature Karen Krampe offering a hardanger class in your choice of a snowflake or tulip motif. Both are simple, will take about 2 hours to stitch, and do not require cutting your fabric (yay!!). Bring a 5″ square of 22 count hardanger fabric and any color of overdyed floss. In October, Sandy Higgins will lead us in finishing the ornament over a button form. You can use these finishing techniques for any round design UFO that is smaller than 2 1/2″ in diameter.
- In August, Margi Thornburgh will present a beading program, of either an eyeglass holder or scissors fob. She has acquired kit materials, in your choice of gold- or silver-tone, which will be available to members for $2.00 for the eyeglass holders or $3.00 for the scissors fobs. Bring your own beads in your favorite colors.
