Stitchers, are you ready to convene in person this fall, 2021? So are we! Our September meeting will be in person on the 20th at Bethany Lutheran Church.

After a successful sale of needlepoint supplies open to all Colorado stitchers last month, the Colorado Columbine Chapter of ANG resumes its meetings and stitching classes in October!
Joyce will be teaching this colorful St. Patrick’s Day canvas, a Kathy Rees design. Quick to stitch and affordable (our sale has enabled us to underwrite the cost of these fully kitted canvases), a sure beauty for the mantel come springtime!
Here is the piece in progress, which shows off those glorious colors:

Members of Colorado Columbine Chapter, ANG, will meet in March, 2019, to begin a class based on a popular ANG stitch guide called, ‘Honey I Shrunk the Heart!’ Sue E. has adapted the heart to a strawberry shape, and loaded the beautiful design yummy colors and beads. It is one of the classes offered by the group that encourages use of threads already owned, and patterns offered by the American Needlepoint Guild.
Upcoming months will have an annual dinner and installation of new officers; a very popular class on How to Tackle a Painted Canvas; and a back-by-popular demand session on how to use ribbons on needlepoint canvas!

Our July class is a charming scissors case stitched on paper! A very antique look for our stitching rooms.
Our June meeting offered a Fourth of July class to stitch a merry dress form in red, white and blue, of course!
We take a break in August, then resume meetings on the third Monday in September. Join us!
Denver stitchers will induct new Colorado Columbine Chapter board members on April 16 to kick off a new phase of needlepoint offerings! Members are always treated to a catered dinner as they welcome a new slate of officers.
The May meeting will be a Stash Sale to allow members to part with old favorites and go home with ‘new’ goodies! Bring nearly new projects, either canvas or threads or both, to allow others to bid on and take home. Voila! Empty shelves for incoming…
In June, we put on our three-cornered hats and begin to stitch up a Painted Pony Patriotic Dress Form to jazz up our Fourth of July displays! Each stitcher is encouraged to try new threads, stitches and beads to expand stitching horizons:
In July, we get to jump in to this delightful scissors case, laden with beads and counted stitches!

Happy holidays to members of Colorado Columbine Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild!
As we take a break from regular meetings in December to enjoy our families, friends and stitching time at home, we are thankful for all the year’s blessings. Our members are especially pleased to have such an absorbing, soothing, meditative activity as needlepoint to enjoy. Come join us in January when meetings resume, and see what we’ve got coming up in 2018:
On January 19, 2018, we will be stitching a Heidi Stanley piece, a monogram which will be individualized with a special plaid chosen by each stitcher. The class is closed, but it will be fun to see what develops!
On February 20, a charming paper scissors case will be our focus, all beaded and stitched on perforated paper. This will make a beautiful piece to display in our stitching rooms!
In March, a stunning Ruth Schmuff piece called Gilded Pears will be taught by Julie, its rich colors on a dark background that is going to be fun.
Then in June, just in time for the Fourth of July, we will be stitching a perky Painted Pony Patriotic Dress Form just for fun! See you there.
As always, many thanks to our wonderful team of program directors, Madonna and Julie:

An important note from our Membership Director, Susan:
Hello everyone!
We had such fun at the July meeting with Open Stitch night. It was awesome to chat and see what everyone is working on! Nothing short of amazing IMHO!
As we head into fall, I need to start collecting the 2018 membership dues. I started collecting checks at the July meeting and hope to see all of you in September at the meeting. Of course if you can’t make it you can always mail our fearless leader/president, Gloria, a check (Please refer to your Members Directory for her address).
Dues haven’t increased this year (again!) and are $26.00. Please make your check payable to CCC-ANG.
The deadline for collecting dues is the October meeting so don’t delay in sending in your dues.. so you can get back to stitching! Reminder, you must be up-to-date with your national dues as well.
Thanks in advance for staying on top of your dues and see you all in September!
Susan
If you signed up for these September classes, plan to enjoy quickly stitching these holiday beauties, a menorah ornament kit, approximately 4″x5″ and a peace dove ornament kit, which, finished, is about 5″ across:

It’s summer and the Fourth of July on our minds. There is nothing more fun than stitching an American flag or any patriotic motif in needlepoint! Denver members of the Colorado Columbine Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild will meet in June to stitch a Kirk & Bradley design, Floral Flag Heart. It’s all sparkly threads and cute checks.
More classes for upcoming months will be rolled out by our incomparable team of Program Co-Directors, Julie & Madonna:

He’s big, he’s green, but he’s not mean! Denver needlepointers are about to be delighted by a special guest, Mr. Al E. Gator, who is in the wings with a wonderful guest instructor, Gretchen W. She will guide the Colorado Columbine Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild through a class of fun stitching on May 15, 2017, to create this charming frame weight.
