Filed under: ANG Seminar 2024, Byzantium - Lorene Salt, Heart Swirls - Janet Zickler Casey, Treasures from the Great Lakes - Dawn Donnelly
Classes are over for me. The Jazz Museum and Negro Baseball Museum were great as was dinner with Linda at Bristol’s Seafood. A very tasty TAMARIND SOUR with Bulleit Bourbon, tamarind, lime started off the evening. A delicious lobster bisque was followed by Hong Kong scallops. The chocolate velvet cake was amazing. Bill was next door at BRGR Kitchen and Bar for a private tasting of 3 Irish Whiskey brands that had been blending in a little cask for an Old Fashioned – he said it was delicious.
So, I’ll go back to my regular posts now on my progress on these 3 classes and my other ongoing projects:
Byzantium by Lorene Salt (nothing too complicated but will take time, although some crescents are big and work up quickly)
Treasures from the Great Lakes by Dawn Donnelly (a few tricky elements I need to work on while they are fresh in my mind; the most different from my normal stitching)
Heart Swirls by Janet Zickler Casey (small and not hard, should work up quickly)
All That Shimmers by Sundance Beads (these are broken up for monthly chapter projects with ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter; ready for Monda’s meeting and the next area)
Rainbow Butterfly by Danji (Kristen and I have this in progress for ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter discussion; only my body is done on this painted canvas; I am working without a stitch guide and am tentative about what to do next)
Fibonacci Swirls by Olivia Hartshorn on Congress Cloth and canvas (this is broken up small areas as a monthly chapter project with ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter; oops, I’m behind schedule)
How do you rotate your pieces as you work? Or, do you stitch only one at a time?
Kristen, Bill, and I go out exploring an hour north of KC with a rental car to see:
*Glore Psychiatric Museum
*Patee House Museum
*Jesse James Home

Love your postings about the seminar classes AND restaurants!
As far as WIPS, I rotate many as the urge hits me. I have project photos I can look through periodically to see which ones have been neglected for a while or get back to something I’d really like to finish. Then, there are those projects that probably won’t get finished and I need to think about what to do with them (sell, give away, etc.).
