I think we dove into the Jessica first, then overlapping Rhodes, and then moved to a few other areas. Working on tougher areas earlier was smart because after staying out until 9:30 pm ish, packing, getting up early, eating a Thanksgiving Day poboy sandwich, and the heat in the room (it went hot and cold in this room), I was fading by the afternoon.

This will be easy and fun to finish. Jennifer’s pace was quite calm compared to many classes. This looks like a lot more stitched than my usual for 2 days.

The speaker, Allie Pleiter, was quite entertaining as she discussed 5 primary types of Needlepoint friends. I got a signed copy of her first cozy needle mystery book. A second is coming out in 2026. Apparently, the NYAGs are quite popular characters. They are Not Your Average Grannies. Looking forward to reading it. If you haven’t read Monica Ferris or Lea Wait, you should.

Very enjoyable time in NOLA!
