A social media friendship led to an invite to join a live American Needlepoint Guild Chapter! Though there are many chapters in Texas, the farthest northern chapter is located in Temple, so I have been a member of the CyberPointers Chapter. I am a very independent learner, but I just do not thrive in the CP's format and have wanted something to expand my knowledge. Being asked to join a live chapter thrilled me, even if I can only participate from afar. This group of lovely and talented stitchers meets the second Tuesday of each month and holds Zoom stitch-alongs every Sunday afternoon. I do have to compensate for one time zone difference, but what I have learned in three months is profound. We are learning about stitches that mimic clothing and have been tasked to design a project to incorporate the stitches we are studying. Mom likes pumpkins, so I decided to create a pumpkin sampler project.
