Cody and Chad went to the Exotic Car Show in Sunriver prior to picking me up at the airport on my way home from seminar in Indian Wells.

Opportunity Baskets, ANG Seminar Indian Wells
Boy, have I been neglecting my blog - last posting was January 2008.
I wanted to share the results of the Opportunity Baskets at Seminar in Indian Wells. We sold 8,164 tickets which means we raised $8,164.00 for the Educational Programs of ANG.
I really enjoyed Seminar and my first year as the Chairperson for the Opportunity Baskets. I have learned so much in the last year and I promise that Milwaukee will be just as spectacular.
Meeting people in person that I had been emailing with for a year was great - it was like seeing an old friend.
I will attempt to keep the blog more updated with everything going on.

Southwest Sampler by Margaret Bending in Needlepoint Now
I was so excited when I received the January issue of Needlepoint Now yesterday. On the cover was Margaret Bendig's "Southwest Sampler", Margaret taught this to the Wine Country ANG Chapter in July of 2006.
I really enjoyed this piece and my first class from Margaret. I only made two adjustments - I was unable to get the technique down for the Ceylon stitch used on the Cactus so I used the Double Cross Stitch which was the same stitch used on the Cactus for the Name Tags at Seminar in Tucson. Then for the outer border I used Turquoise Beads, in the center.
The picture has gone back to the framers though because the Mat is not right.
I am now working on Margaret's "Summertime" in the Geranium color way.
Don't miss out on taking a class from Margaret she is a wonderful person.
