May 9, 2026--I placed the last stitch on this beautiful, very shiny heart today and look forward to finishing it as an ornament in the near future. I had fun leading this project to a handful of my ANG chapter members and they are moving along nicely. There was an initial glitch when we learned the threads recommended by the designer are no longer available, but we found RG's Neon Rays made a very nice substitute. This will make a nice addition to my Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day decorations.

| Fourth of July Heart Completed |
March 13, 2026--I have the pleasure of leading a class at the Delaware's Seashore Chapter of ANG May meeting called Fourth of July Heart designed by Margaret Bendig. The instructions were published in ANG's July 2008 Needle Pointers Magazine. Since we'll have just a few hours to cover everything in class, I'm going to teach it "seminar" style where a little bit is done in each section so the students will learn the stitches involved, then the heart can be completed at home. Of course, there will be lots of "thread spaghetti" to contend with. Below is the "prework" the members will be asked to do before the class begins.
