If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

Thanks for sharing that interesting story, Joan! Good for Robert for not
hesitating to join a predominately
female group to do something he obviously enjoys.

We have a male stitcher who regularly joins in the annual stitching retreats
held in Prince Edward
Island. He's a very integral member of the group and literally keeps
everyone 'in stitches' for the
whole weekend! He, also, does lovely work!

Interesting. Not quite the same, but DH has been to a couple of ANG
seminars with me. And there is a Scottish guy, Jonathan Brown, who attends
the ANG seminar, generally every other year - and when in San Antonio won
the Princess Grace Award, which is for a piece done in all Tent stitch. It
is amazing. Can be seen on the photos of the ANG discussion Yahoo site-
I'll ask Jonathan if I can put a snap at RCTNP - it's an amazing piece - he
did it in sections of the Tartans of all the Scots who were at the Alamo.
FWIW - I'm quite friendly with he & his wife - we all met at seminar in
Lexington years ago. They both stitch, and she's a certified Japanese
Embroidery Teacher - lovely folks - my DH was at that seminar as company -we
all met at some ice cream social, so.....

Anyhow - Bruce, if you go with Maureen to stitching things, well, it's like
my DH keeping me company. Though, when the area shop asso has put on some
retreats I've been teaching & taking some little classes & stitching, DH has
helped out, and had a good time as well.

P.S. Whatever happened to George????

Which George?

George who was here years ago - he used to do enormous cross stitch
pieces, all designed by himself. I am wracking my memory for his
surname. I know he had troublesome prostate cancer, so wondered when
we didn't hear anymore from him. It was a Germanic/Dutch type of
surname.
I remember - that's kind of who I thought. Didn't he do the very realistic
things ?

Cheryl, why don't you invite him back here (I'm not on FB or I would)?
Tell him we miss him, at least!

What about Gary Deutschmann, is he around on FB ?

Is Jim Cripwell still stitching? He must be getting well up in his 80s,
I guess.
