Tassel Earring

These are the earrings I made from the tassel class in January. If anyone wants to send me photos of finished projects, I'd be happy to post them here.

February Meeting, the a.m. Edition

We had a lovely time this morning sharing our own needlework stories. There was such a variety of techniques. Some sampler appreciation. Some punch needle. Some counted work. Some Japanese embroidery. Some surface embroidery. Some canvaswork. Some beading. Some designing.

There is such depth of talent in this group. It's truly amazing.

I should have tried to take more pictures. And tomorrow I'll post a photo of my beaded tassel earrings that I made after Elaine Evans class in January.

If anyone who attends the evening meeting wants to send me an update, I'll post it here.

February Meeting

This month we are sharing.

Share your favorite type of needlework.
If you have a favorite technique, favorite designer, or have an interesting story to share about
any of your pieces—come and tell us your story.

You may spark someone else to learn a new stitch or finish one of those “UFOs”.

And if you even have UFOs, bring them to share and maybe it will prompt you to get started on it again!

If you’ve stitched a piece for a special occasion and want to tell about that or have pictures to
share, bring them along! We’re anxious to hear about your stitching story.

We'll see you either in the morning or the evening in the usual spot. Don't forget to bring some canned goods to support the church food pantry.

Stitch In Public Day

The Stitch in Public Day has now become an annual event.

Since February is National Embroidery Month, the EGA Board has designated the first Saturday as being Stitch in Public Day, choosing a Saturday to allow more working stitchers to participate.

That means that this Saturday, February 7th, is Stitch in Public Day.

For anyone who wants to join in the fun, some of us will be at the Reston Regional Library on Bowman Drive in Reston from 12-2 p.m. in Room 1. We'll have a sign in the lobby. Bring your stitching and finished piece or two to display.
