    I am interested in finding out about donating stitch patterns . Does EGA have a connection to a needy organization that accepts patterns or stitch accessories? I’m still stitching a lot but I have way more that I’ll ever get to.

    have any of you ever heard of mardauger embroidery? had a question from a member in RMR – they have a piece done by her great grandmother and would like to find out more about it. Thanks in advance.

      Thanks Hazel – that was all I found also. I should ask for a picture to see if that would help

      Could you post a picture of the completed embroidery? Maybe it was called Mardauger in the “old country”, but now has a “new name”. I wonder if it is a variant of Hardangar.

      Trudy Pohawpatchoko replied 4 years, 12 months ago

      Thanks Stephanie – I asked for a picture, but all they had was an old Fair Ribbon with writing on the back, the consensus from the chapter was it was Hardanger.

I better admit – I have 8 stitches in my right hand, today is the first day I’ve been able to type albeit all left fingers and index only on the right hand. I did this on the…[Read more]
