Note: One of our members entered the county fair. Her iris picture won "Best of Class".Congratulations!

GREETINGS
President’s Message
Dear Omaha Needle Artists,
Our New Year is well under way with lots of wonderful things to anticipate with our needles and our passion (or addiction, as the case may be!). We have a new UFO Challenge beginning this month, the Gretna Retreat in March, an outstanding Spring Regional meeting with classes in April, and another class with Jean Mann at Mahoney this spring. Additionally, some of us are going to begin a group correspondence course, so there are lots of opportunities, plus some really interesting programs in the works for our chapter meetings. I am really looking forward to getting my needles flying again.
The UFO Challenge has had me digging out some of the planned and kitted projects in my closet, plus new enthusiasm for a couple of things well under way. One project from a (very expensive) class in 1998 is now started, and I WILL have it done by December! I hope you have found some things that just never got finished, and will also be motivated to join the Challenge.
Happy Stitching!
~~~Liz Wenthe~~~
