Stitching on the Rio Grande

This blog is dedicated to the use of stitchers along the eastern Rio Grande Valley. We invite you to discuss your projects, ask questions, compare progress, announce new opportunities, and post your photos. Above all this should be a way to communicate and have fun.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to take a moment to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! One of the things I give thanks for today is all the friends I have made as a member of Tip of Texas Embroiderer's Guild. God's blessings to all of you!

Austin Seminar hotel

I was able to book three non-smoking rooms today for the seminar. They cover the 3 T's and a room for Sandra and Gerilyn. They also offered upgraded rooms. Trudy

Southwest boot

Finished the serape and pants, almost finished with the adobe house. Actually had a day to stitch since I was home with a sick child. Will post pictures of my progress Sunday. I am really enjoying this venture into randomness instead of using set, counted patterns.

Today

Barry's reunion is over and a great time was had by all who attended. Jewett and I are spending the day stitching. Looks like you all had a great time at the boot class. Joyce

Boot Class

What a great time - not only for the class but also for the friendships. We got a chance to become better friends with some members who don't get to come often. I am determined to get Callaway done yet this year so instead of working on the boot today, I've finished one more square - the chapel. Next are the little girls or women whichever. After that I need to put the date on and do a little beading and I'm finally through. Stand by for pictures later.

O HAPPY DAY!

We had such a great day stitching today with Jeannette Rees our southwest boot teacher. Jeannette is the GREATEST! I personally had so much fun being with friends and doing something I love....STITCHING. If you were not there....you missed a special time. O....and of course, we will all be finished with our boot by the end of class tomorrow! Ha! Ha! Just a little humor!

Boots

Remind me again what time to be there please.

Southwest Boot class

Talked to the Hotel today and they are working on getting us in the back room ( the same one from last year) for the class. Keep your fingers crossed as that room has GREAT lighting! The teacher will provide kits for the three members that can not attend the class! See you Saturday! Its going to be GREAT!
