I am happy to be President of our chapter again! With so many interesting programs and plans, it should be a very exciting year.
Since this is the time of year for cleaning and organizing, if you have any stitching items that need a new home, please consider donating them for a Stitching Sale, tentatively planned for Memorial Day. You are sure to find some excellent additions to replace items you might donate. Prices will fit anyone’s budget, and proceeds will benefit the chapter’s treasury.
Karen Krampe has offered herself, and/or other members, to be available from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. on meeting nights to review stitching tips, help with techniques, and review basic or more complicated stitches. Come and join us at the meetings early.
Programs being considered involve artistic aspects of stitching, such as changing colors, and conservation or restoration of your heirlooms. You could even learn to knit or tat !!
A new development for this year will be the chapter’s sponsorship of an award for a stitching category in the Home & Hobby competition at the San Diego County Fair. You won’t want to miss out on any meetings.
Keep stitching!

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. Hours must be EGA-related (except Meals on Wheels). Thanks to everyone !!

- In January’s program, Karen Herndon will be presenting a Teresa Wentzler Whitework Ornament.
- Our February program will focus on Blackwork–there will be books from our library, Tiramisu GCC will get kicked off, and we hope members will bring samples of their own blackwork projects.
- THANKS to Heather Cowan and Karen Krampe for the porcupine quill laying tools presented to UFO participants at the holiday party. That sharp point is really sharp!! It will draw blood if you are not careful. The ribboned wine corks were an inspired way to keep our fingers safe and our treasured creations free from blood spots.
- Don’t forget to support the businesses that advertise in our chapter newsletter! Let them know you are a member of Muchas Manos and appreciate their support. In this month’s newsletter, our advertisers were: Framesmith, Needle Nook of La Jolla, Needlepoint of La Jolla, Sandy’s Finishing Touches, Stitcher’s Treasures, and The Black Sheep.
