• I can’t find the link to renew my membership. I am a member at large.

  • Margaret,
    Please help. I have no chart to do this project. Was it mailed or sent as a PDF. Have all the discussion pages, but nothing to tell me color numbers or anything. Would really like to get started on this.

  • Still catching up on old projects and enjoyed our May meeting via Zoom.

  • It’s late at night and after seeing the death toll from covid-19 rise above 95,000 I wonder how many of my chapter will be there once all three waves of this pandemic are done. This guild demands that I pay by the 31st of this month, when other societies have delayed at least until july their demands for money. Why is that? Why are other Not for…[Read more]

  • Hi Margaret, I finished lesson 1 last night as shown in the photo. I’m finding your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I haven’t been able to devote as much time as I’d like to the project now that weather here has been better. So much yard work to do. I love this project and will keep working on it. I’ve also enjoyed seeing photos…[Read more]

  • Volunteer hours and Continuing education

    Purpose: To document volunteer hours that EGA Certified Judges give to their local communities and to EGA. To ensure continuing education within the EGA Certified Judging Community. To document those house in the EGA Annual Report by group only, NOT individuals. To have a venue to update Certified Judges…[Read more]

  • I finally realized that I have am embroidery design. Now I just need to sit down to begin stitching!
    Yeah!

  • Just registered for the GCC The Princess and the Pea!

  • Master Craftsman Counted Thread.

  • Margaret, thank you so much for your reply. I did not see that there was a “directions” file as well as the “discussion” file. After your reply I tried to download the rest, but all weekend was unable to even login to the class. I kept getting a critical error message. I finally emailed Rand today and he was quickly able to correct my problem.…[Read more]

  • Another topic is that I would like to propose is that we have a required 6 hours of volunteer work as a judge and 12 hours continuing education annually. Hours would be one hour for each hour of activity. The volunteer hours would have to be related to judging, such as a lecture, volunteer judging, sponsoring an apprentice,an article related to…[Read more]

  • This is a picture of the mask my husband designed. Splat is what he calls the program that he has been working on forever. One evening he announced that he would like me to make a mask. I asked him what color. He asked if I could stitch a normal curve. (Our daughter points out that a normal curve is not a color.) Anyway, after awhile he…[Read more]

  • Correctly doing this cute little stitch from T he Drawn Thread, using 32 ct fabric and my choice of DMC threads from my stash. Had a lot of difficulty with the vines for some reason and frogged repeatedly, but I was having a brain fog day, so that could be why.

    • It’s a pretty little piece! The vines look really neat, not usually a lot of fluidity or curvaceousness in cross-stitch work, so it’s nice to see that. It looks like you made it work and it looks good!

  • Buenas dias, Margaret. I have used backstitch before in stitching a needlework piece, but not quite in the way that you are using it in this piece. The instructions for using the backstitch in ending a thread is a little unclear. Is the thread cut off behind the canvas when ending or on front of the canvas as is done in the beginning when…[Read more]

  • Trying to get in the Lesson 1 of Mexican Tile so I can get started

  • Finished it! This is a Merrilyn Heazlewood design, the Hidden Trellises class.

  • GLR Annual Board Meeting will be held on Saturday, May 2 at 10:00 am (EDT)/ 9:00 am (CDT) on Zoom. Please email director@ega-glr.org for a meeting invitation.

  • Only have a couple more nights\’ work left on my Hidden Trellises project and also have a band sampler I\’m dabbling with. I have a Stay Home project on hold as well. Just want to get HIdden Trellises done at this point.

  • We all are looking for the right project to stitch just now. I chose “Praising Angel” a Romainian point lace designed by Sylvia Murariu to do in her memory. I thought it was appropriate in this time. I found my tension was very varied while stitching one side of the robe vs the other side. But it is my tribute to her and my hope we will come…[Read more]

  • So I saw this, and it looked interesting. But a $75 entry fee!
    So I am sharing it for other people, and to get feedback if that\’s reasonable?
