It's May - Your Dues are Due!

Last year, dues were pro-rated to end on May 31, 2010.  It is, therefore, time to collect dues from all members for the coming year (June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011).  Please have your dues to Kathy C., our Vice-President for Membership, by no later than May 12, 2010 so that she can complete the paperwork for submission to National Headquarters and to MAR.  Please make checks payable to Oatlands EGA.  If you are renewing by mail, please include a membership coupon from the newsletter and send to Kathy C. 

Amount due is $53 if Oatlands is your primary Chapter.

Wednesday - April 21st

Wednesday night is Stitching-in-Public night at the Panera in the Reston Town Center. We meet at 6 p.m. Have a bite to eat and stitch away.

In March we were approached by a father and his two young children. Marge gave a mini-lesson to the young girl and got her so entranced that when her father said it was time to leave, she told him no. She had to do just a few more stitches. We've all been there! Just let me finish this thread, then I'll make dinner...

Leeds Tapestry

Here's a link to the Leeds Tapestry, a community project in Leeds, England. I don't know much about this project as I have just begun looking at the website. But what I have looked at is intriguing.

Photos of the National Tapestry Taken at MAR Seminar

I wish I had had my tripod with me so that I might have been able to take better photos. But still you can see that the tapestry created by members of the EGA is beautiful.
