CALL FOR DISPLAY PIECES
CRVC has been invited to the Granby Public Library in November for our fourth
display there. This one is titled "We're Back! Recent Pieces from the
Embroiderers' Guild." The focus is on any pieces you've finished since March
2020. They can be any technique, any style, big (not TOO big), small,
intricate, simple. They can be from our Zoom workshops, or from your
old stash of kits and unfinished projects that you finally pulled out and
polished off, or original pieces. The only criterion is that you finished
them since the first pandemic lockdown.
We'll collect the pieces in October, and get them back home in December.
Most pieces will be displayed inside locked cases, so even the smallest ornaments
will be secure. For each piece, please provide the title, designer
(if known), your name, and any brief comments you want to make about it (i.e.
"I started this at a Region Day 15 years ago!"). You may loan us up
to three pieces (five if they're small).
If you've never participated in a display with us before, please consider
joining us in this one! Contact Kathryn Lord at hglord@cox.net for
information about having your pieces picked up and returned.
NER’S Special Class in September
NER has been accepted by the International Teacher
Tour to host Hazel Blomkamp on September 24-25. She will be teaching
“The First Sip” as shown above, and the class will be held at the
Courtyard by Marriott in Andover, MA. Information about registering
for this class is expected in late May or June, so please watch for notification
at that time.
CRVC Library
For many years CRVC had
a library of needlework books. Several years ago, the decision was
made to disband the library and sell off the books. Many have been
sold, but many still remain and they can be seen on our website at
www.crvc-ega.org/library.html. If you would
like to purchase one or more of these titles, send an email to the chapter
librarian Judie Solomon at
ThisNeedle@aol.com with your bid
-- all reasonable offers will be accepted. We only ask that, in addition
to your donation, you pay the cost of mailing the book(s) to you via media
mail.
Many of the books from the CRVC Library, as well as many others that have
been donated to CRVC, are now available for purchase at
store.apneedlearts.com/tobenefitcrvc.html.
In addition to the books, a large collection of hand-painted canvases
that have been donated to the chapter are offered there.
You make a purchase at a really good price and benefit the chapter at the
same time.
CRVC Board
Meetings
During 2022, CRVC Board
Meetings will be held via Zoom on the first or second Tuesday of odd-numbered
months. Contact Judie Solomon at
thisneedle@aol.com or 860-633-7281
if you want a Zoom invitation to these meetings. See the
Master
Calendar for actual meeting dates and location.
CRVC
Bylaws
The
CRVC
Chapter Bylaws (Revised 2013) are available for viewing.
Here’s
a call to all members..................we would love to have others assume
some of the jobs for our chapter. They are NOT big jobs, just some "pitching
in" to help with short term needs. Hopefully you can attend our board meetings
on the second Tuesdays of odd-numbered months or on Saturday immediately
preceeding a general meeting. That’s where we come up with plans for
future meetings, so you’ll enjoy the fun of learning what’s out
there.
Please
contact Lisa
(klisagreen@yahoo.com)
if you would like to help.
