Yesterday, Sunday, was the last day at this year’s EGA seminar in Asheville, NC.    I had a second day of the Lily of the Lake with Gail Sirna.  I did as she asked us all and got rid of my  “tails”, some I finished and some I just tied off.  Tail free, we began today working on thenleft border which has several bands.  After lunch it was the right border. I really like the way they look.  The participants of this class were so cooperative and helpful to all–lending a battery operated light to someone who was not near an outlet, giving suggestions for how to count for placement of stitches, etc.  

There was so much hubbub about the eclipse which occurred today and the traffic that was around Asheville that many were anxious to get on the road last night and not wait for the morning.  Our class instruction ended before the afternoon break so several people skipped the banquet and got on the road.  I did stay and felt the dinner was tastier than the opening banquet.  The prize was the dessert which was a small chocolate teacup filled with berries and whipped cream.  I ate every bit of that cup!  The favor was wonderful!  On of the committee members made one for each of us!

You can see mine and Rosie’s with one open and one with the embroidered cover.  This is a favor that can be put to good use.  At the banquet it was announced that the only elevator in the Looking Glass building was not working!  By the time I was leaving this morning it was back in operation, but not when we returned to the room!  It was a good seminar although there facility issues, the classes offered were great as was the merchandise night and teachers’ showcase and both seeing friends and making new ones!
