I'd register in a heartbeat if I wasn't already going to Seminar in Louisville. Terrific opportunity!

Camp Wannastitch

Once again Oatlands has quite a few members at Camp. We thank Ann W. for her dedication to this wonderful event for the Mid-Atlantic EGA.

We've run the weather gamut. Nice and sunny. Foggy and warm. Rain and more run. And here comes the cold.

We laughed and stitched and shared. We're inspired by all the terrific stitching and beading. We've stayed up late, gotten up early. Drank lots of coffee. Had some fabulous food.

Just remember- things said at Camp, stay at Camp.

Holiday Luncheon

Saturday was our Holiday Luncheon at the Club in Leesburg. We enjoyed not freezing in our nearly balmy December weather. Had a fantastic meal. And listened to a fascinating lecture on sampler collecting. We shared our IFFs, exchanged ornaments, voted in a new board, and approved our budget.

Thanks to all our volunteers who make all this happen! We can't do it without a lot of help from many people.

January Class

We'll be making this fabulous beaded tape measure. Plus one of our favorites - potluck involving lots of talented cooks.

Long link, but a fabulous tutorial. All kinds of knots and shapes.

Apologies!

Has it been five months since I posted? Someone really should poke me...

Here's a photo of my October EGA stitch-along. It's the Halloween Plaid.

We just did angel ornaments at our last meeting.

And I promise to be better at posting here!
