    Somehow the text connected with my piece didn’t show up. Loved this class and connecting with all of you. Hope many of us continue to stitch together! I’ve included my email in the “staying together” thread, but here it is again: ronapietrzak@yahoo.com

    I have a list of the email addresses and will sent them by email to you 2 who have responded.  Rona and Anneli haven’t responded yet but I did send them each a request a day or so ago.

    I did talk to my friend who had “friended” me on the EGA site but she doesn’t remember how/what she did.  So it’s back to waiting for Rand or someone from the n…[Read more]

    Is someone compiling a list of our email addresses so we can start a group contact list?  That might be a good way to start if we don’t get the friends group going.   And an easy way to do it.

    I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you better.

    Hi Dawn. I am “in between” projects, and wondered if there was some basting to be done. If so, any guidance?

    No questions, just a happy holiday wish and thanks for this class.  As I am sure you saw from the discussions, it has instigated a lot of thought and ideas among us.

    I look forward to what comes out of your carding and spinning , your embroidery basket and quilting thoughts.

    Kim, what a nightmare couple of months you have had.  Sometimes it just happens all at once.  I sure hope you got all of it over with for a long, long time.  No one needs that much sadness and upheaval in 3 months!!

    As much as I love to stitch, unless it is very complex and requires a lot of counting, I find I have too much time to think about wh…[Read more]
