Summer
Stitch-Ins are OVER!!
And we had fun
... stitching on each Saturday!
Gateway Chapter ANG does not hold formal meetings in the summer,
but summer is a perfect time of year for a day of stitching fun. We had
our last informal Saturday stitch-in of the summer. The third Saturday
stitch-in was held on August 14 and was attended by fifteen members.
Thank you very much to all of the hostesses for welcoming us to their
homes and for providing a comfortable place to sit and stitch and offering
such warm hospitality! Many thanks to Angela Jones, Sylvia Howard, and
Carol Bosche! The fun and friendly company of fellow stitchers made the
days even more enjoyable.

....
and ... UFO will be BACK for another year!
By vote of the Programming Committee, the 2010-2011 UFO Challenge
is back! This is our third year for this popular program. We will start
the next round of stitching fun at our May meetings. The rules remain
the same: Bring in two unfinished stitching projects. Be prepared to discuss
why the projects are unfinished but also why you still like them. Our
members will vote on which project you will be obliged to finish. You
will have until the May meeting in 2011 to exhibit the completed stitching
or to pay the $10 fine. The fine goes back into a fund for Guild projects.
We will, of course, be checking up on your progress!
