    Fox Valley (Wisconsin) hosted Terry Bay’s Illusion Class. I completed my piece in just under two weeks. The technique is Ukrainian whitework. This piece was challenging, but Terry made it enjoyable and manageable. The piece was almost half done at the end of the two-day class.

      Thank you for your very nice comments! I tried to make this class on-line as I would teach it in person. I love to talk sampler, their history and the history of stitches as I know it. (I’m always learning as well.) Hopefully, our paths will cross one day soon.

    Hi, Elaine! Question on block 12. When you say a firm tension, do you mean tight enough to see a slight separation of threads, but not pulled enough to make a hole? With no separation of threads I can hardly see the stitches.

    Hi I am new member to EGA. I placed order for Lightning Round White on White Crazy Quilt. There was a supplies list to download which noted wait for text to start project. It’s been 10 days since I ordered and wondering if these are mailed to you or should I be looking for a download of instructions. Confused …

    I am posting my progress through block 16. I realize that blocks 15 and 16 are reversed, but I decided that I prefer the blocks on the right edge to be all the same size,so I left the mistake. I do wonder if I am pulling the threads tight enough? Any comments will be appreciated.

    Hey, GLR, I’m seeing how few photos we have posted on the EGA profile. Pull out those smartphones at your next chapter meeting, take pics of each other and have an EGA profile party, helping each other update your profiles. I see a chapter program in your future!!!

    Good morning ladies. No, you didn\’t receive any instructions for pre-work or fabric prep because none is needed. Do you know the front side of your fabric from the back? No? Don\’t fret . . . this will be covered in the 1st class. I\’m looking forward to being with all of you this week for our first class.
