A Note From Our President

Happy Fall and Welcome to all members!

It’s finally starting to feel like fall here in North Texas (well, briefly). I love this time of year-the cooler weather, the fall colors, the chance to wear turtlenecks and sweaters.

The Guild has been busy in the last few months. As per usual, we didn’t meet in July, but the entries for Show ‘n Tell were posted on the Blog on our website. Each month I am continually amazed by the talent of our members. The Mary Fosh SAL, with Running With Needles and Scissors, is going great. Some participants are able to keep up with the “assignment” better than me. She is a beauty! We also had an online workshop with Olde Willow Stitchery, Ann Simpson-St. Andrews-1837. She is so pretty! I’m trying to divide my stitching time between the two.

This year our Guild made a donation to the Sampler Consortium designated for use in their effort to register American School Girl Samplers. They have a large number of samplers already registered and are continuing to add more. You can read more about their goals on their website.

The Guild ornament this year has been designed for us by Gentle Pursuit Designs. We will work on this at the November meeting. This looks to be a fairly quick stitch. Our annual Holiday Party is December with an ornament exchange. This is always fun. Even if you decided not to sign up to exchange an ornament, you will want to tune in to see the beauty and creativity of the ornaments. Always amazing!

There are some fun programs being scheduled for next year, so hurry over to the programs page and check them out. And MAGIC-oh, my goodness! We have seen some inspiring completions. The talent and skill of all our members continues to inspire me.

I hope you find some stitching time every day

Cyndi S., President 2024
