    An update from my first post……A couple weeks ago I finally got a start on Hazel Blomkamp’s Norman, the turtle. The design is a bit smaller as I am using the one in the picture attached to practice the stitches, most of which are new to me, before starting on the larger design. Finished the EGA #bewellandstitch Stitch-a-Long cross stitch.…[Read more]

      Hi Janice, Love your Norman I have the book and have been wanted to do the Ostrich keep us posted on your progress. What did you use for transferring the design?

      Hi Jamie, Thank you. I printed out the design on regular copy paper, then traced the design on the back of the paper with one of the Sublime Stitching Iron-On transfer pens. Then ironed the design onto the linen. Kind of funny….Yesterday, I enlarged the design to about 8 x 10 inches but with the threads suggested for the needleweaving, I am…[Read more]

    I am back in my office this week, but with only 3 of us here, it’s pretty low risk. I’ve been at home for 3 weeks though and got a ton of stitching done. I went back through unfinished projects that I wanted to get done and finished an Alison Cole stumpwork piece and am now working on a Catherine Jordan piece called “The Gift” that was a Dogwood…[Read more]

    Sally – which chapter in NZ are you trading with? We (Hanging By A Thread) do this also – and thought we were the only chapter.

      Loretta Wahl replied 5 years, 10 months ago

      To clarify – our chapter in Placerville CA (Hanging By A Thread) has had a sister chapter in NZ for the last 8 years. They are in New Plymouth (North Island) and each holiday we have a wonderful sharing of beautifully stitched gifts. Always a great surprise when their package arrives.

      Cedar Valley Chapter in Cedar Rapids, Iowa has had North Shore chapter since the beginning of the program. North Shore is in the Auckland area of the North Island.
      A few years ago I connected with distant cousins who happen to live in Auckland and was able to visit them on the way home from Australia. It turns out that their daughter,…[Read more]

    Members of the Silver Meadows Chapter EGA are quite busy sewing protective masks for frontline healthcare workers & others, including children, here in Las Vegas, but they still find time to put needle to canvas & cloth to create works of true beauty.

    So proud of our Dogwood chapter members. Many are sewing facemasks for family, friends, front line workers and even their veterinarians! One of our members secured the help of her 10 year old daughter to help and together, they’ve sewn 50 masks!
