Filed under: ANG Central Jersey Chapter, Name Tag Lee Canvas, Sashiko Mini Sampler Hemp Leaf
I joined the ANG Central Jersey Chapter (CJC) today. Since I had been there 4 times this year for a variety of reasons, I decided that I might as well officially join the chapter. It’s about an hour and 20 minute drive. So, I won’t be there every month but maybe quarterly. We’ll see. Nice group of about a dozen women that meet in a church in Colonia, NJ from 10-3. They stitch, hold the meeting around 11:30 or 12, have lunch, and keep stiching. On a Saturday, traffic is not too bad. So, if there is good weather and no other plans, I can join them periodically.
New members get a gift bag! The painted canvas is for a beaded name tag designed exclusively for the chapter by Lee’s Needlearts. Instructions are included. But, nobody wore name tags and 2 women told me they never stitched it. Very pretty design.
The purple card case was made for their chapter’s anniversary last year and these are extras. Since they were made by Sharon B and Sue C, that makes it that much more special. Ironic that there are 3 slots. I now belong to 3 ANG chapters and 1 EGA chapter. Only 2 of the 4 chapters have business cards. But, I have my own personal ones. So, 3 slots are perfect!
And, the Sashiko Mini Sampler Kit by Miniature Rhino is of a Hemp Leaf (Asanoha). It comes with white thread and 2 sizes of Sashiko needles by Olympus. I didn’t have these needles! But, I didn’t get instructions. I believe that Jacqui C contributed the kit. So, if I can’t figure out what to do with this, I can ask Jacqui.
The fob is color coordinated with everything ever so nicely! Well done, CJC.
It’s interesting to see how different chapters function. No one is the same!

Hi Melita,
Comment by jframejr November 20, 2023 @ 6:50 pmWelcome to Central Jersey ANG! So glad you joined. I hope you stitch our beautiful beaded name tag! Years ago we charged a fine of 25 or 50 cents if someone didn’t wear their name tag. Maybe we will have to do that again! LOL!

Did you stitch it, Maureen? If so, please send me a photo. I don’t know where the beads go! It’s very pretty.
