EGA Discussion Group 5 months agoI am looking for a sampler that was offered in the March 2006 Needlearts magazine called Elizabeth Muir Sampler. I am willing to pay for it.
-
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.

HEATHER SHULICK posted an update in the group
EGA Discussion Group 6 months, 1 week agoHi all,
Our chapter is hosting Diane Herrmann\’s Walking the Water\’s Edge in Chicago in May, and we are allowing ghost stitchers. If you are interested in ghosting this class or attending in person, go to http://www.windycityega.org/upcoming-events/
-
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!

EGA Discussion Group 6 months, 2 weeks agoHI. Has payment information for the national seminar been sent out yet? Thanks.
-
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).

The executive committee is discussing the format of the next TNE. As soon as the details are ready, we will get back to you on the deadline question. Sorry for the delay…

Marnie, thanks so much.

Hi. I just want to chime in here as a member of Starlight Stitchers, who hosted the TNE exhibit last year. It was an amazing experience for us, to see such incredible works up close and personal. We do see great examples at the State Fair, for instance, but embroidery exhibits are few and far between, at least in our neck of the woods. The TNE…[Read more]

I love hearing stories like this Helene! Thanks for sharing.

There will be a 22nd Through the Needle’s Eye Exhibit that will debut in 2021. Lots of details to work out still.

Celeste, do you hear the rounds of applause coming from this direction? Woooo! So, here’s some stitching motivation for all the talented folks in this class. Thank you for all you are doing as Director of Education, Celeste! It is much appreciated.

Hi Vera, last year it was during the opening banquet, and that’s how I see it in the National Seminar Guidelines. Maybe @celeste-chalasani can provide a more specific answer.

Yes, the national Gold Thread Winner is announced at opening banquet at national seminar.

EGA Discussion Group 11 months, 1 week agoIs there a discussion group for the Elephant Lightening Round?

Hi Kathy,
That was our previous round. You can see the current GCC Lightning Rounds here: https://egausa.org/product-category/courses/lightning-round/
-
I’m sorry, I just re-read your question and realized I answered too fast and not what you asked, since you are already registered. At the moment we don’t have Discussion groups for lightning rounds.

EGA Discussion Group 12 months agoDoes anyone know what type of frame this is? I have googled brooch embroidery/needlepoint frame and I find people selling a finished product like the picture or plain wooden frames. I’m at a loss on what else this frame could be called or where to buy them.
The picture was taken from the etsy page themagickcat

Hi Jessica – it looks like a brooch blank that has been filled with petit-point. Probably stitched in a small count silk gauze. Mary Corbet has articles on stitching on silk gauze. It’s usually taped into small mat board for stitching, using one strand of silk or cotton floss. I didn’t see any blank jewelry settings exactly like this, but if you…[Read more]

Jessica, maybe do your search for brooch blank under “findings.”

Hi Suzanne, the announcement was just posted on this month’s newsletter. You can also read it here and share it: https://egausa.org/2019-gold-thread-award-winners/

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,
-
Dear Rand, my mistake. I see that Ellen Saines got the award for our region. Well deserved. 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!

Thank you and may we all keep stitching, Susan Baldassano-
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, Marian. That helps knowing your deadline and types of challenges.
May we both keep stitching, Susan

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.
