    Hi all,

    Our chapter is hosting Diane Herrmann’s Walking the Water’s Edge in Chicago in May, and we are allowing ghost stitchers. If you are interested in ghosting this class or attending in person, go to http://www.windycityega.org/upcoming-events/

      Hi Heather, thank you for that invite. Wondering what is included in the fee—any materials?

    • Profile picture of HEATHER SHULICK
      HEATHER SHULICK replied 5 years, 5 months ago

      Hi Kay,

      The in-class fee of $85 includes the teacher’s fee and kit. If you decide to ghost the class, the $100 fee includes the teacher’s fee, kit and a shipping/handling fee for the kit. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    • Profile picture of Kay Richardson
      Kay Richardson replied 5 years, 4 months ago

      I’m kind of a new EGA member….can you explain how the ghosting works? Is it just a do-it-on-your-own project?

    • Profile picture of Wendy Lynn
      Wendy Lynn replied 5 years, 3 months ago

      Kay- I’m not sure you ever got an answer to your question. In my experience, ghosting involves signing up for a class that you cannot attend in person. The teacher or the person organizing the class will mail the kit to you. So, yes, you work on the project on your own. And we’re so glad that you joined EGA. Welcome to our world!

      Hi, Helene. I got a letter saying I had gotten the class I requested during preregistration, and that we will get information by 1 February on how to complete registration. That must be done by 1 March, so we’ll have a month to pay the rest of registration and the class fee(s).

    Thank you Merrilyn and Christine for your comments. I am almost finished with lesson 3. I have a few stitches left to do. Because I am using threads from my stash the results are somewhat surprising, some more pleasing than others. Photo attached. JoyceAnne

      Congratulations! Cute piece. I’ve had 2 finishes – one was a beaded Christmas cracker that is being offered through the Shining Needled Society by Catherine Hambrick. The other that I finished last night was a UFO that was started years ago so feeling really good about that one.

    A local art gallery was doing one of those ‘off the wall’ fundraisers, where local artists donate work to be sold at $20. After bringing it up in the now closed class, I decided I wouldn’t mind doing it. Laura warned me about the time difference. I actually then found one of those ‘slow stitching’ pieces that had no purpose other than to…[Read more]
