    Congratulations to Carmen Heare of the Town and Country Chapter (Ohio) who is a recipient of the 2019 Golden Thread Award for the Great Lakes Region.

      I submitted a nomination for one of our members in the Metropolitan Region. Since there are no winners for that region, I would like to talk to someone to confirm that my submission was received. Can you suggest someone I can contact. Thanks,

      Hi Suzanne, yes, we had her on the list but misspelled the region’s acronym. We caught it pretty quickly, thanks for the heads up. Have a great day!

    When I visited the Woodlawn Embroidery Exhibit at a historic home in Virginia I re-discovered the EGA. I was active in my previous home in the 1990s but my career got in the way. The Washington DC chapter here in Alexandria was meeting just 2 miles from home so I went to a meeting and promptly rejoined EGA. And another chapter meets about an…[Read more]

    I just finished Lesson 2. Here are my warm and cool shadings. I tried shadows on the cool example, but was not happy with them and decided to forgo shadows on the others.

      We have had good participation with challenges of a “pincushion”, and one of “any project that included a doll”. We usually announce our challenge in January with a deadline of November.

    Thank you for the extra recommendations for laundering products. Marion Scoular also recommended years ago that if you can\’t find the Ivory Flakes, make your own by shredding a bar of Ivory Soap. It goes a long way!
