News!!
•New stitching group at Wake Forest Library on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of the month.  First meet up we had five and the second seven.  So much fun meeting local stitchers.  Thanks to Jennifer for getting us together.  Also, to the North Carolina Stitchers and Tarheel Stitchers groups on Facebook.  It’s so wonderful to meet NC Stitchers!
•Fred & Sandra stopped by Wake Forest on their way home and we had a nice lunch with them.  So great to see them again.  Looking forward to seeing them and all the wonderful folks in late October for their Christmas Party at Cross Stitch and Crafts in Johnson City, TN!!!
•Peter is busy working on getting many beautiful items ready to send to Jeannine at The Crafty Ewe for the Tour de Stitch in October!!  Also, turning like crazy for the October Christmas Party at Cross Stitch & Crafts in Johnson City, TN
Plans
•WIPGO calls for September are:
 #1 Antique Rooster Sampler by JBW Designs.  Merritt, I haven’t forgotten that you want this one when I’m finished.
#15 Christmas Garden!!  So happy they are both samplers pulled for Sampler September.  
•Thinking about possibly pulling GLeger 1898 for my September Focus piece.  
•Also, should be starting the Blue Bird Sampler by JBW Designs with Carol when she gives me the “Go” signal!!  I’ll share the # in description box
