Reminders from Renee ....

Hello Everyone,

Just a few reminders for the Tuesday, August 3rd general meeting regarding the Exhibit. This will be the last opportunity to hand your entry forms to Beth V. The deadline To turn them in is August 18th so if you can't be at the meeting please be sure to put your forms in the mail soon.

(Forms available at chapter meetings + in the Flying Finger Newsletter)
Make as many copies of it as you need. At last report there were 55 entries.

Also we will be having an exhibit committee meeting after the general meeting about 8:00 p.m. for an hour. Please join us.

If you have an Opportunity Drawing item, please bring it to the meeting. We will be photographing it for promotional materials. Ticket sales for the opportunity drawing will begin at the September general meeting. At last report we had three items for the Opportunity Drawing.

Unfinished ornaments for the exhibit fundraiser are also due by August 18th to Sue D, Karen U, Claudia C, or Chris R. If you plan to finish them yourself you can bring them to the September general meeting.

As follow up to the Perfect Angle Framing Fundraiser, we did have eight members participate and earned $101.00. Thank you to all who participated. We will be trying the fundraiser again next year. Sandy of the Perfect Angle asked me to pass along to you that she is having a sale August 1-22. If you bring in an item for framing during that time you can choose a shell from her sand box which may contain a 10%, 20% or 30% off coupon on the framing supplies. So if you missed the fundraiser now is your chance to frame that item you've always wanted to frame!

Finally, remember to check the NANI blog "Flying Fingers Plus" often.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Education 2011

Note from Karol J:

I know that January 2011 seems a long way away,
but we have already been working
on our classes for next year!

I think you all will be
really pleased with the
wide array of projects we
have picked out for you.

But, we do have one dilemma.

I am still looking for a few more teachers.

Are you willing to share your talents
with the rest of the group?

We have projects already picked,
you will just need to guide the group
who takes the class,
and, of course, stitch it yourself.

There are always a lot of us
willing to help.

If you have questions, please contact me
via e-mail or see me at a chapter meeting.

May you be blessed with stitches
Karol J

Education Display for the Needle Art Exhibit

Note from Karol J:
Are you willing to share some of your
past, completed,

We will have a designated area featuring some of
our past education pieces.

I will be on hand throughout the show
to answer questions
about the
education portion of our guild.

Please note that you will need to
fill out the insurance forms
for each piece;
please mark on top EDUCATION

If you have any questions or comments,
please contact me via e-mail
or speak to me at a Chapter Meeting.

Belated Thanks

Thanks a bunch to everyone who came out to help prepare materials for Camp Quality. We had a great group: Janet Charleston, Renee Stern, Renee Reimer, Sue Hansen, Pat Bellinger, Karen Pinta, Cathryn Wurzer. We chatted as we cut plastic canvas and yarn into usable lengths and tied it into bundles. Each camper will get canvas, a hank of yarn, a dog tag, and a needle.

We will be teaching at Camp Quality on the morning of Friday, August 7th. We're still looking for teachers.

Thread the Needle ...

Thread the Needle Day


Per Holiday Insights web site:

Today is Thread the Needle Day (July 25th). You can be certain that today is going to be a great day........ if your sew.

Thread the Needle Day certainly is a day for those who sew. It also has a second meaning. The term "thread the needle", is also a saying. It means to either walk a fine and difficult line between two things or issues, or to do something difficult. For example, suppose two of your friends are on opposite sides of an issue. You may have to "thread the needle" on that issue, as you attempt to retain both of them as your friend.

The creator of Thread the Needle Day did not document this day. So, until we find him or her, you can celebrate today by either sewing or threading the needle on issues.
