One down, four to go!
I FINALLY finished the first of the 5 pedestal covers for my Eastern Star project, and, in spite of most of the Lakewood Fire Department across the street, I even have the second piece of Aida cloth cut, and measured for the second cover! The pattern is the Artecy Mini Butterfly, and I'm stitching them on 14 count so they can be seen from anywhere in our Chapter room. This will be for the yellow Star Point, then will be the white one (ugh - and on white Aida cloth). Oh, and I'm still designing 3 other pedestal covers for our Associate Matron, Conductress and Associate Conductress pedestals. Good thing I have a couple years to get them done!

Excellent! But wouldn't it help to enlist some help? Is that a no-no?

Yep, it would be in this case. These are for my year as Worthy Matron, which will be 2020 - 2021. Oh, and did I mention, it is also my Chapter's 100th Anniversary!

When my older daughter was in Rainbow, years and years ago, I took of a couple of weeks so I could stitch several "Precious Moments" designs for her project. I don't even remember how many I had to do, but they were made into pillows and pedestal covers. I don't even know what has happened to all of those. She was a teen at the time and she is now 42.

You have your work cut out for yourself. I can't wait to see them! Your OES chapter, I'm sure, is going to appreciate your hard work and skill.

It sounds like you have everything well in hand and if I was a betting woman (only the lottery, cross my fingers) you are probably way ahead of schedule. Would you explain, if you have time, what all the terms are and the organization. I am not familiar with....

pamelastine11 - Email me at Mkhanes@juno.com and I'll give you a quick explanation of Eastern Star. If I do it here, it would take up a lot of ECS space!
