Crewel Project and Rozashi Plans
At this time we hope that this meeting will take place in person at
Thistle Needleworks.
There are several copies of the same crewel kits that were donated for our use. We plan
to give one to each participant with the hope each person will interpret it with their own
choices of stitches and colors. Judie Solomon will review a variety of crewel stitches and
their execution. The plan is that each of us will bring her piece to the December meeting
so that we can share our individual approaches.
During the afternoon, supplies and instructions will be available for choosing a Rozashi
project and kitting up the threads and fabrics needed to complete the project. We will
prepare the Ro (fabric) by gluing it to an appropriate frame so that you are set to begin
the stitching. The instructions are projects designed and taught by Ginny Currie, and
the materials are available because of her donation to our chapter. Our aim is to
share the chosen projects at the February meeting.

Snowflake Ornament Class
Piloting new design with Vicky Witterschein via Zoom
Vicky has asked if we would be willing to pilot this new design at our December meeting.
As you may recall, she taught another ornament class to several members of NER recently.
This class instruction should be completed in about two hours, but we will be starting it at
9 a.m. to accommodate her schedule. The only cost for participants is the kit fee of
$20. Please fill out the
coupon soon so we will know the number of kits to be prepared.
A coupon is provided for this meeting. The deadline for registration is
November 1.

NER Seminar 2022
Sheraton Hotel in Rocky Hill, CT
UPDATE ON NER SEMINAR 2022
"The Stitches That Bind Us"
April 30 – May 1, 2022
This will be a no-frills seminar. You should be receiving your
brochure via email shortly as there will be no mailing of physical copies.
This seminar is co-hosted by our chapter and Pioneer Valley Chapter,
so as we get closer to the date, we’ll be asking for any helping hands who’d like to volunteer
for little jobs. So far from our chapter: Linda Berry will be the registrar; Deb Milvae
will handle finance until November, when the next NER treasurer will take over, and then she’ll
coordinate class angels; Lisa Green will make food arrangements; Linda Berry and Kathryn Lord
will put together welcome packets for teachers and attendees.
We hope you’ll keep these dates on your calendar and plan to
register as early as possible.
