Terri Bay has never met a needlework technique she didn't like. Like so many others she began with cross stitch and progressed into Hardanger, Pulled/Drawn work, Blackwork, Ukrainian Whitework, Romanian Point Lace, and many others. Her designing business was born out of frustration over the very small amount of printed works on Ukrainian Embroidery. Terri has a degree in Music Education from Indiana State University and has taught music and needlework in many forms. She has taught for many years at various shops, retreats, EGA chapter workshops, and EGA seminars. She currently lives in South Carolina with her husband, three daughters who flitter in and out of the house on occasion, and specialty fiber donor Taz. See more at www.terribayneedleworkdesigns.com

Through the years her passion has deepened with each new technique learned. She is particularly fond of 16th and 17th century samplers and stumpwork, or raised work. An accountant by training, she has served as treasurer and president of several EGA chapters and as EGA National Treasurer. She is currently in the position of EGA National Seminar Treasurer.

Do not disrupt the class while getting settled. Notify the teacher if you have to leave class early. BE PREPARED. Bring supplies listed for the workshop and your survival kit of regular stitching supplies. If pre-stitching or homework is assigned, have it completed. LISTEN CAREFULLY to the teacher. If you do not understand, or need assistance, ask for help from the teacher after she has finished her explanation. Do not ask your neighbor. ASK QUESTIONS. Do not be afraid to ask questions about your class project. Remember, however, this is a group project. Do not monopolize the teacher's time or discuss unrelated personal needlework projects.

Karen DittmarChair, 2018 SCR Seminar

June2018

Welcome to the annual South Central Region Seminar, GuilDy Treasures

I would like to welcome you to Dallas and the fabulous 2018 SCR Seminar. Karen Dittmar and her committee have put in numerous hours planning this wonderful, “GuilDy” seminar. I know you will have an unforgettable time while on your personal “treasure hunt” in your quest for knowledge in the needle arts, making and maintaining friendships, or (perhaps!) finally finishing your project in Studio Time. Don’t forget to fill your chest with treasure from the TWO shopping opportunities; the ever-popular merchandise night and the not to be missed stash sale. Your educational bounty continues as you sign up for the myriad of SCR sponsored GCCs (Group Correspondence Courses), and the not to be missed Seminar 2019 to be held in Rogers, Arkansas.

Please take the time to thank the 2018 Seminar committee members as well as your region officers and committee chairs. It is their willingness to selflessly donate their

time to EGA that makes SCR THE BEST region with THE BEST Seminar of all!

Enjoy our time together, I know I will!

Shawn Miller,SCR Region Director

MERCHANDISE NIGHT is a fun 2 hour event with loads of treasures from needlework shops, teachers, artisans and designers. EGA National and SCR (South Central) are also participating. Come join us and shop!

Shopping!

If you have ever looked at a friend's stash and thought to yourself, "Oooohhh, I want that!" then the Stash Sale is the place for you! The Stash Sale will be held from 7:00-8:30 on Wednesday evening. It is a great way for individuals and Chapters to sell needlework and related items that are no longer wanted or needed. This is an opportunity to shop for new or gently used patterns, canvases, kits, fabrics, threads, books and a myriad of other stitching related supplies. The Stash Sale is open to the public.

Good Manners for Seminar Classes

1. All cell phones should be turned off or set on vibrate. Please

step into the hall to take or make a call.

2. Avoid excessive talking, listen to the teacher, and do not attempt to answer questions for the teacher.

3. Listen to instructions carefully and read all written material. Do not monopolize the teacher’s time. Share!

4. Teachers are hired for their expertise. If your method for a technique is different, give the new way a trial. Do not discuss other teachers or their styles. If you differ with the teacher, discuss it privately with him/her after class.

5. Keep all food and beverages away from your work area.

6. Wear your nametag so the teacher can see it.

7. Written instructions are not to be copied or taught without written permission from the teacher. Remember copyright laws.

8. Be on time and prepared with class needs as called for in class instructions. Anticipate extra needs: extension cords, lights, extra needles, etc.

9. Return from lunch promptly. Lateness is a discourtesy to the teacher and other class members.

10. Make every effort to stay for the entire session. If you must leave early, forewarn the teacher and make arrangements to get additional instructions from a fellow student. Do not demand extra time from the teacher.

11. Don’t forget to have FUN!

Caring for Our Community

Needleworkers have the reputation of being generous, caring human beings, and our SCR group is no exception! Thank you to all of the Chapters and individuals who have donated bookmarks to our annual SCR service project. Dallas Needlework and Textile Guild is pleased to announce that all bookmarks collected at Seminar 2018 will be presented to the Vickery Meadow Summer Reading Academy, whose mission is “to further Vickery Meadow students’ English reading and writing skills, personal development in classroom discipline, independent work ethics, and self-confidence.” Thanks to Dallas Needlework and Textile Guild member Edna Clemens for recommending these worthy recipients of the SCR bookmarks.

Another wonderful project that many Chapters choose as their community outreach effort is the Kissing Pillow Project. As many of you already know, the Kissing Pillow Project is an ongoing effort that provides hand-stitched pillows, which are distributed to soldiers and their families upon deployment. The soldier and family each have their own pillows as reminders of home and their loved ones. If you would like to stitch one while you are here at Seminar, you can find a free kit at the Registration Desk. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated!
