Summer is finally here with bright sunshine and hot weather. For me that means the return of Michael from Indiana, and the end of Ian’s high school days. And the wheels of life keep turning!
Heather, Gini, and I made an early visit to the San Diego County Fair on June 1, to choose the winner of the Muchas Manos de San Diego sponsored award. There were many beautiful entries, and we all agreed on the winner: Lynda E. of San Diego, who stitched the Celtic Sampler, a Butternut Road design. This piece is very impressive: nearly four feet long, and approximately six inches wide. Lynda will receive a year’s membership to EGA and our chapter, and a beautiful ribbon. The center of that ribbon is the chapter’s logo, stitched by Jean, covering approximately a 2″ circular button, surrounded by two layers of ruffles, and three separate ribbons at the bottom.
Congratulations, Lynda – and to all our members who submitted entries for the Home and Hobby competitions!
The 2009 Region Seminar theme has been chosen: Pampered Stitchers. Look for details soon from Karen K. on the contest to design the Seminar logo.
Meanwhile, stay cool, stitch long, and prosper. Ina
