    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 6 years 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!

    So, I’ve decided to take this time to actually clean out my craft room. I’ve reached the point where I have little piles of projects that have fallen into that “oh-so-close” to being finished status, and obviously, finishing will be the only way to clean my room! So here is the first finish – Keys to the Kingdom by Karen Kluba. I bought the…[Read more]

      Thank you for reaching out to me Margaret. I do remember our seminar at Oceanside with fond thoughts. So many nice people, so much talent within the group. It was a pleasure for me to be there. All is well here in the Grand Rapids area but we are between two hot spots, Detroit and Chicago, with the crazy virus. As always, something good comes…[Read more]

      @eileen-bennett Did EGA ever publish your freebie on the EGA website, as you mentioned to me in this post, a year ago. If so, can you send me the link to it.

      And what about your 2021 classes? Send me any links.

      Hope you are doing okay!
