January Meeting

We had a lovely day on Saturday. I'm sorry if the weather deterred any of you from attending. I'm even sorrier if you are one of the people suffering from the flu virus and that kept you away.

 Anne's last day as President. She all smiles!

The hall had these wonderful tissue paper creations hanging from the ceiling lending an air of festivity.

We had the installation of officers:  your new President, Donna L., Vice-President of Programs, Jane, Treasurer, Marge, Vice-President of Membership, Melissa, and Secretary, Amanda. Donna P. adminsterred the oath of office. Now it's time to get to work...

Our class was the finishing portion of Betsy's Casket Etui. We left fully confident in our abilities to bring this beautiful creation to life. 

And on our IFF table, we saw some members catching up from the Halloween stitching:

A huge thank you to everyone who made this day happen. All the members who participated in set-up and breakdown. To Donna P. for leading the installation ceremony. To Dane and Nannette for seeing to the food and drink. Our guild would be nothing without the time and effort put forth by our volunteers.

See you at the February class - Amanda's wonderful beaded brooches.

Saturday Meeting

Looks like the snow is ending here in Reston. Unless things change drastically and/or Fairfax Schools cancel Saturday activities, we should be meeting tomorrow.

Sea Needles

Stitching @ Ocean City. Made a little trip to Bethany to visit Sea Needles. They were super nice and helpful. Lots of canvas, many kits, lots of cross stitch charts, yarn and knitting.
