    Kim, I am so sorry for all your loss! Sending love and hugs, and wishes that stitching brings you peace and comfort. If you’d like to stay in touch about this project, I understand there is an EGA Fcebook group, stitch-a-long.

    Good luck!

    Hi Solveig,

    Well done they look fantastic!! Have you put them on your tree yet or is it a bit early? My tree is going up Sunday and I will be putting mine up near the top so my toddler can’t reach them!

    Have a lovely Thanksgiving!

    Deborah expressed some interest, Donnie. Otherwise, no one. Meanwhile, Marsha our teacher shared the other day that there is an EGA  Facebook group “Stitch-a-Long”; this might be a good way to go if there is no further interest.

    I would love a follow-up group as I haven’t even started my project but hope to very soon, and would love a group for help and inspiration.   I am absolutely NOT tech savvy tho so setting it up, I’m afraid, is out of my realm.  Will do what I can to help and keep it going though.

    Maybe we could all just stay in touch through individual emails as…[Read more]

    Not sure if it is appropriate, but there is an EGA group on facebook called EGA Stitch-a-Long. Couldn’t find any info on what the group is all about, but it is there and is active.

    Being part of this group has been so valuable for me — both seeing how others interpret the assignments, and getting feedback on my work have been great. Is anyone else interested in having a group that can continue to be in touch, sharing our work and constructive comments?

    I don’t know whether we can do this through EGA, Facebook, or another…[Read more]

    John, please don’t stop being wild and crazy! Your work inspired us all, and it was helpful to me to see what can come of relaxing into the work! And I appreciate your comments!

    And, Marsha, I too loved seeing your piece that won the Golden Needle award. Thanks for letting us know.
