December Party

 Today we had a special guest at our Holiday Luncheon. Rosie the Riviter visited with us. We learned many interesting facts and met Walter Pigeon and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Even knowing about rationing during the war, I hadn't thought about thread and fabric being scarce. I'm sure there was lots of upcycling going on.

Lots of door prizes!

Lots of showing off our IFFs! We're a talented bunch. 

Great way to start off our holiday season. 

Happy Stitching! 

Workshop

 Yesterday we had a lovely time working on Celeste Chalasani's Happy Holly Days.

Look for finished items soon on our IFFs table. 

September UPDATED

 Unfortunately some of us returned from National Seminar with Covid-19. I am attempting to catch up on things. Like tonight should be stitch in public at the Reston Wegmans at 6:30.

Anyone is welcome to go. But I am going to take a pass tonight. 

Also Saturday we will be meeting at the Herndon police station at 10 a.m.

Here's a photo of my one day class with Gail Stafford. 

Next Stitch in Public

We’ll be stitching in public on August 16th at the Reston Wegmans. Mezzanine level of the Cafe from 6:30- 8:00 p.m.

Happy 40th

 

Yesterday was our 40th anniversary luncheon to celebrate being a Chapter of EGA!

Wonderful work from everyone on creating such a special day. To everyone who showed and pitched in to set up, many thanks! 

The food was wonderful, the venue was terrific. The sharing was fantastic as always. So many talented people. 

Fort Worth Chapter

Look at this. The Fort Worth Chapter of the EGA has an Outreach team that has started a YouTube channel. First up, how to check out books from the National library.

January 2023

 Happy New Year! 2023 marks our 40th year as a Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America. So Happy Anniversary to us!

We have many members who are headed to Camp Wannastitch in Ocean City for five days of stitching. Looking forward to seeing us all at the beach again!
