I have had a similar experience. I’ve emailed and called headquarters. They have also emailed her. I still haven’t received anything and my order was placed back in January.

Patty and JaNaye, I know I have talked with you both, and we are still working on the HQ end to get this problem solved. I also want you to get your LR materials as soon as possible!

I think I might be interested also, Trudy.

Maybe the RDs need to form a GCC!!!

Me, too! In this day of Zoom why not a Zoom GCC? In fact, our chapter’s last GCC did not meet in person after about 5 months, and that was before COVID. It is also true I am the only one to finish and send for evaluation so far….
How could we gauge interest and get more interested people?

Ladies, I am a member of the Washington DC Chapter and live in Northern Virginia. Where are you all located? The one issue I can picture (from my 1 GCC) is that the systems relies on having a Class Coordinator to receive Course Materials, send in finished projects, and generally organize Stuff.
I can picture this happening in a Virtual Group.…[Read more]

Hi Kay, I am in CO, Vera is from WV and Wendy is from WI. I’ve done GCC’s with the Rocky Mountain Webstitchers chapter, which has members in different states. For 1 class I mailed my final piece myself rather than sending to the chapter, for the other one there were 4 of us in the metro area, so we sent the pieces together to the chapter to be…[Read more]

Hey. you all might want to suggest that EGA have this course as a Lightning Round–that would help you all out! I have to do Stash Busting, too, but it’s going to take me a LLLLLOOOOONG time–I have 40 years worth of accumulation…sigh.

Congratulations, Jill, on taking this step. The EGA library has many books on surface embroidery that you can check out for only the cost of postage. Go to egausa.org, log in, then go to Library. You can search by topic. You can keep the books for six weeks.

Good luck, Jill! I don’t have any hints, but I’m glad you are going for it!

I have just submitted Step 1 Surface Embroidery Master Craftsman Program.

Keep in touch and let me know how it goes. I’m still waiting for some supplies so sampling in the meantime. I am in Vancouver, Canada.

Hi Nancy, your teacher only has access to the group discussion in her Goldwork Bracelet class, not this discussion group. I will contact her for you.

Thanks Hazel – that was all I found also. I should ask for a picture to see if that would help

Could you post a picture of the completed embroidery? Maybe it was called Mardauger in the “old country”, but now has a “new name”. I wonder if it is a variant of Hardangar.

Thanks Stephanie – I asked for a picture, but all they had was an old Fair Ribbon with writing on the back, the consensus from the chapter was it was Hardanger.

ahh, spidery handwriting!

Let me know if you need anything else.

I passed your information to Judy, @teresa-frank.

Hi @andrea-eufrazio, the first lesson for Geraniums will be posted to the class page on February 3. Here’s the link to the class page: https://egausa.org/courses/geraniums/ And here’s the link to the class group: https://egausa.org/groups-directory/class-geraniums/

Jocelyn, I’m not sure if staff is checking discussion board today, but I’m the region director in the Great Lakes Region. Are you on a computer, laptop or tablet? The login in link appears out the upper right hand corner of my screen on both my smart phone and computer.

And this is all good feedback. I’d also be happy to walk you through the website on zoom if you’d like. My contact info is in my profile.

Wendy, Thanks for your note. Sorry, but I don’t zoom. As you may have guessed, I do not like technology. Right now I use a laptop. Great Lakes region. Hmm. Where are you from? My family is from the Grand Rapids, MI, area, though I live in California and grew up in Ohio.

Hi @Jocelyn-Vitanye , I’m sorry you were having issues with the website. The Login button always appears on the top right corner of the website, it changes to Profile once you log in. The log out button is on the navigation under Members Only, I’m including a screenshot below. There is a chance that your internet browser is maximized/zoomed in…[Read more]

Thanks @wendy-lynn!

Jocelyn, I’m sorry I didn’t see your reply. I live in Wisconsin and I’m currently on Washington Island. Happy New Year!

I am so sorry about your house fire and I sure hope someone who took the class can help you out with this.

Hi @Carolyn-Braly, registration for that course closed in June and the course is currently happening. You can see the classes with open and upcoming registration here: https://egausa.org/online-courses/

Hi @karen-anderson, the group counts several things as activity, and one of those is when new people join. I have made some adjustments for it to work better.

This is lovely, Val. Thanks for posting it for us!

How really pretty, Valerie! Yours really “pops” off the fabric!

Are you sure it is the March 2006? I have that issue and I don’t find that sampler pattern in it.

The pattern isn’t in it, a coupon to purchase the pattern is there. Thanks for looking.

Sorry, Karen, I misunderstood. I hope you find it.

Vera–have you tried Carol Sessoms at the Linen Sampler in Belmont, North Carolina at 704-825-1807? I see this sampler listed under the “Em-Li” list of samplers available. (I just did some Google diving, so I”m not sure if the shop is still open). Good Luck.

Thank you for your help. I tried “Em-Li” about a year ago but, even though it was shown on their page, they said it was no longer available. Perseverance paid off though, when I ran across it on the stitchin’ stuff for sale page on Facebook. I have it now and am excited to begin it. Thank you again for looking for it. Stitchers are the best!

Hi Heather, thank you for that invite. Wondering what is included in the fee—any materials?

Hi Kay,

The in-class fee of $85 includes the teacher’s fee and kit. If you decide to ghost the class, the $100 fee includes the teacher’s fee, kit and a shipping/handling fee for the kit. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I’m kind of a new EGA member….can you explain how the ghosting works? Is it just a do-it-on-your-own project?

Kay- I’m not sure you ever got an answer to your question. In my experience, ghosting involves signing up for a class that you cannot attend in person. The teacher or the person organizing the class will mail the kit to you. So, yes, you work on the project on your own. And we’re so glad that you joined EGA. Welcome to our world!

Hi, Helene. I got a letter saying I had gotten the class I requested during preregistration, and that we will get information by 1 February on how to complete registration. That must be done by 1 March, so we’ll have a month to pay the rest of registration and the class fee(s).
