http://gentlepursuits.blogspot.com/2014/04/march-2014-ackworth-sampler-lecture.html
Gentle Pursuits of Richmond EGA. Monday, April 7, 2014. March 2014 Ackworth Sampler Lecture. For those who couldn't attend the lecture, one of the best sites online to see Ackworth Samplers and order patterns is Needleprint. Both Dee and Holly agreed that the best book is Quaker School Girl Samplers from Ackworth. The breadth and scope of Holly's collection is very impressive!

Images Found Here……. May 3, 2013. The only annual plant that gets put in the front flower beds; the deer do not like them. Saved lizards and beetles drowning in an upturned pot. Have replaced Impatiens; the local greenhouse’s Impatiens were hit with Downy Mildew. The humming birds will not be pleased, Impatiens were one of the plants they frequented. After spotting a male and female hummer, I took a break from playing in the dirt and put some fresh sugar-water out. Out My Back Door. Follow Blog via Email.

Gentle Pursuits of Richmond EGA: October 2013
http://gentlepursuits.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Gentle Pursuits of Richmond EGA. Monday, October 28, 2013. This is a somewhat belated post, but our annual Christmas in August class was once again a great success. Trisha Johnson did a crazy quilt ornament class for the group. Trisha pieced the fabric, leaving the embroidered seam treatments to us, and there was a choice of shapes. Lots of choices, which is always fun. Links to this post. There were some interesting items to share, especially the Halloween skirt made by Dee's mother many years ago.
