	      December 5th, 2015 "Elegant
	      Holiday Tree" designed by Mary
	      Waldsmith
 
	      This ornament is a Petit Project in canvas work from the EGA Education
	      Department, with a skill level of beginner, so it can be stitched up
	      quickly.
 It is worked on 18-count canvas, eggshell color with gold, in Neon Rays,
	      Caron Impressions, Caron Watercolours, and Kreinik braid, all in tones of
	      pale beige, cream and natural.  Stitches include basketweave, Milanese,
	      Cashmere, and Scotch (or Hesitation), with the braid mixed in with the other
	      threads for added sparkle.  Stitching hints and several suggestions
	      for finishing are included.  We hope to begin some of the finishing
	      after lunch.
 
	      This meeting will take place at Duncaster Senior Residence in Bloomfield,
	      CT.

	      Although the picture following looks very silvery, the actual piece is an
	      elegant rendering in off-whites.
