    I’m brand spanking new here – well, I guess everyone pretty much is. How do you friend someone?

    • Profile picture of Patty Smith-Gardner
      Patty Smith-Gardner replied 7 years, 12 months ago

      Hi Lynette! That’s a good question! I know if you see someone here that you know, you can click on them, and then click “add friend” under their picture or icon, and a request will be sent to them to approve. But I don’t know if there is a search function for finding people you know! Maybe wiser heads will chime in.

    I have a question: I LOVE the line art images that appear on the new website. The stitching items? Pincushion, Awl, Scissors……so who designed those and are they copyrighted? I would love to do them in Redwork, but do I need permission to use them?

      Hi Patty, I will check on that for you. They were created by someone on the team who worked on the site.

        Patty Smith-Gardner replied 7 years, 12 months ago

        Thanks, Rand, I will be interested to hear! If they are on the EGA Website, they should belong to EGA, methinks. They might be a great free PDF of drawings for the free projects page that can be stitched in many techniques!

    The chapter Just hosted Diane Herrmann for a lecture on symmetry and design followed by a 2 day workshop for Diane’s needlepoint piece ‘Walking the Water’s Edge’. Fantastic opportunity!

      Oh, our chapter is dying to do that workshop! Did you enjoy it?

      • Profile picture of Lynette Maton
        Lynette Maton replied 7 years, 12 months ago

        It was wonderful! Diane gave a lecture the day before the workshop began, on symmetry and design, which members loved. I have zero experience with canvas work and this was a perfect way to get my feet wet. We all learned how to properly lay threads, how to create random eyelets on canvas, how to stitch beads onto canvas and how to create bullion…[Read more]

      I love this piece of work. Where did she teach this class and is that pattern available?

      • Profile picture of Lynette Maton
        Lynette Maton replied 7 years, 12 months ago

        Hi Pamela, Diane taught it to our chapter in Atlanta, but your chapter can contract to have her come teach it for ya’ll as well. Diane’s website can be found at www.http://dianeherrmann.com/ You should speak with your VP of Programs for your chapter about bringing her in. You’d have to ask Diane if you can buy the kit without taking the class.

      If you check the Walking On Water’s Edge Facebook page, Diane announced she is teaching the course on a Royal Caribbean cruise on the Anthem in 2018 or 2019.

        I know! She’s actually going to Bermuda on that cruise and will provide participants with a choice of “pink sand” for her canvas to represent the pink sand beaches of Bermuda.

        Thank you. I’ll keep looking for that class. Pink sand would be awesome
