Summer is in full swing at my house. All the kids are home, but this year they all have jobs and social events, so things are almost as frenetic as they are during the school year. So much for the lazy days of summer!
Congratulations to all our members who won ribbons at the San Diego County Fair this year – especially to Lynda E., our newest member. Her beautiful Celtic Banner earned her the Muchas Manos sponsored award. I hope we will be able to welcome her soon to a meeting, and that you will all get to see this magnificent piece in person.
As we enjoy Christmas in July by stitching the Assisi Poinsettia, keep in mind that we have a “top secret” outreach project . . . . well, not really top secret; we just haven’t talked about it a lot! We will donate a tree, decorated with handmade ornaments, to an organization voted on by the chapter. Think about what group you think should receive it. And whip up some decorations!
Elsewhere in the newsletter you’ll find information on our chapter’s opportunity to be pilot stitchers for a new GCC, and the two new PSR fundraiser cookbooks at $5.00 each.
Enjoy your long summer days of stitching – may your stitches by many and your frogs be few.
