      I’m getting ready to begin (signed up for Lightening Round). Found fabric in my stash this morning. Next up, choosing the most historical threads I can find.

      I am almost done, Adrielle. I have finished the stitching, and put the Pulls and Strap on the bag Friday. Today I hope to start th lacing slits before coffee wears off. I don’t want to mess that up.

      This looks pretty good. A good foundation in silk shading is vital.

      Hi Arlene, you should have received your magazine. If you still haven’t received it, send an email to typarks@egausa.org and she can check if there are any issues.
