Stitchers Are Nice!

Since 2001 my sister-in-law Annie and I have been attending The Silver Needle's Camp Wannasew.  When we started going, we went in the Autumn.  The last seven or so years we've been going in the Spring.  We've made some lasting friendships through the years and it seems that every year there is someone new to welcome to Camp.

This year (as we do every year) after flying in to Tulsa and getting our rental car we made a stop at the shop to take a look around and get our bearings.  There is so much to see in the shop - so many new models - it takes more than one visit.  We always go back on Friday for a second look.

While at the shop on Thursday, a fellow camper arrived by taxi from the airport.  She had been assured by Lindy that she would be able to catch a ride with someone at the shop.  Thus began our new friendship with "EdieToo".

Let me explain how I envision her name:  Well, her name is Edie L., but we already had Edie S. at our table in the workroom at Camp and Edie L. was joining us.  So, we dubbed the new Edie "Edie2" but I see it in my mind as "EdieToo".

EdieToo went back to the shop with us on Friday.  We all had a very enjoyable weekend getting to know each other.  She skis, rides a Harley, and shows her grandchildren that life is to be lived.  EdieToo is also a member of EGA and an excellent stitcher.  We exchanged contact information before parting on Sunday and became Facebook friends soon after returning home.  Last week I received a warm "thank you" note from EdieToo and she enclosed this lovely eyeglass cloth.

Thank you, EdieToo!
