It was great to make new friends and meet with friends from last year! Here are a few special ladies from my monogrammed coaster and embroidered organza bag class.
I had two great assistants (Don on the left and Harris on the right) helping with my class. Both are former military men . . . both machine embroidery enthusiasts. Don spent years helping the Blue Angels fly and currently teaches new owners how to use their embroidery machine. Harris is now a quilting instructor. They made all six sessions run as smooth as silk while attendees made personalized gift sets in each of the two classes. All projects were embroidered using one of my all time favorite embroidery machines - The Brother PRS100 Persona.
Virginia Beach Retreat - Had a great seafood dinner then took a walk by the light of the bright moon with fellow instructors. From left - Angela Wolf, Joan Clemons, Yours Truly, Jerry Granata, & Jo Corso.
A great group of machine embroidery enthusiasts gather in Baton Rouge from near and far. Some came from as far away as Alaska!!!
