Dear Members,
I believe El Nino has finally left leaving very little rain. I hope this doesn't mean an abnormally hot summer. Time to plant flowers and tomatoes. I hope to get more than a
few. I have a purple thumb!!
Our Chapter project, "Patches," has gotten off to a great start. The hardest part is
counting the threads to begin but once that is done it will be exciting to complete each
square every month. Nancy Horne and Lisa Eddo are doing a wonderful job with directions and demonstrating.
We are getting close to two major events here in San Diego. We have the Del Mar
Craft Fair from May 12 through 14th. SDANG will have a booth there and if you are
interested in sitting and stitching for a time contact Margi at 858-344-6794 or email at
www.margit7@att.net.

After the May Craft Fair comes the Del Mar County Fair which runs from June 3rd
through July 4th. We also have a booth there and still need volunteers to sit and stitch
for a while. I love stitching there and talking to all the people that come by and explain
the benefits of stitching.
I have just read that crafting might be the key to everlasting youth. The stimulation of
the mind slows down the cognitive deterioration. There was a French study that says
crafting people are less likely to develop dementia, and that includes Alzheimer's disease. Crafting not only gives a sense of pride and achievement but develops handeye coordination, spatial awareness and fine motor dexterity. So keep your needles
moving!!!
I encourage all of you to get involved with your needlepoint chapters. We make great
friends and have great times together, not to mention creating something wonderful.
See you all at the meeting.
Lee
