    nothing much I have joined EGA and enjoying myself and there is so much to learn. I have taken a class on gold embroidery. Enjoyed it and still working on it thus it will take time to learn gold embroidery.

    The committees that do so much work to host a National Seminar are hard at work this time of year. I just sent Basket of Gold out so that it can be on display in the education exhibit. It really is fun to see student’s work when they keep working on a class piece after seminar. Although this is not that kind of class, I do have a question for all…[Read more]

    I just mailed two of my master craftsman pieces to the National EGA Seminar. I had to take the glass out of the frames to ship them. I do feel very nervous about shipping my work. I’m nervous that it will get damaged or lost. I followed all the instructions in Lesson 2 so I hope for the best. Generally I have driven pieces to exhibits. Here…[Read more]

    I have a number of dull needles & pins that need to be disposed of, but just how is the question? Sharp, pointy objects are no longer to be just thrown out due to diseases & accidental stabbings. Currently I have just collected them in an old medicine container. What are other people doing with their dull/broken needles & pins?

    Finally Finished this one! I began it several years ago and put it away. I decided this year was the year to finish it. It’s called Williamsburg Virginia Christmas and, even though I don’t particularly like blackwork, I had to do it because Williamsburg and Christmas are two of my favorite things.
