Welcome Letter
Houston Seminar 2019
Ican’t believe that the 47th ANG Seminar in Houston, Texas has finally arrived! I have
thoroughly enjoyed learning the inner workings of all that goes into making Seminar.
Luckily, Local Seminar Coordinators Lynn Bahm and Kay Simonds have made my job much
easier with their tireless dedication. I want to thank them as well as Barbara A. Richardson for
all their hard work.
As you settle in, look around and take a moment to enjoy all the opportunities before
you. Learn an unfamiliar technique or share a needlework tip with someone new. Peruse
the beautiful work displayed in the Exhibit and pick up some treasures at the Expo! and
Buy It Now events. Eat and socialize with friends old and new at the Needlepoint Fiesta
and Farewell Banquets. First Timers, join us at your very own reception to get a special
introduction to all Seminar has to offer.
Fun and learning await you at every turn. Don’t forget to say hello or introduce yourself to
me. I want to visit with all of y’all Deep In the Heart of Stitchin’.

Welcome to Houston and
ANG’S 47 TH ANNUAL SEMINAR
Deep in the Heart of Stitchin’
W e are so happy you are here to enjoy our Houston hospitality.
Lone Star is the lead chapter helped by our sister chapters in the
Houston area: Bay Area Stitchers, Lake Houston, Piney Pointers and
Needlepointers of the Woodlands. We have all had a great time putting
the local part of this Seminar together.
Special thank you to Carol Moody, designer and stitcher of our logo
piece; Michele Roberts for designing the Teacher and Participant
Nametags, the Specialty Ribbon Centers and the Texas Star Ornament;
Dr. Cynthia Rigoni, Exhibit Chair; Laura Mergens, Shipment Coordinator,
and our Hospitality Chairs Margaret Painchaud and Laura Smith. The
other members of our organizing committee are: Susan Allen, Denise
Fischer, Barbara Gessner, Leticia Jaroski, and Dr. Linda Walker. A big
thank you to the over 50 members who worked on nametags, ribbons,
stuffing Toros and all the other things that go into hosting Seminar.
Be sure to stop by the Hospitality Desk for ideas on shopping and
restaurants in Houston. While our seminar is going on it is Houston
Restaurant Weeks. This is a chance to try some of our best restaurants
with moderately priced three or four course meals and a portion of
the price benefiting the Houston Food Bank. We have five wonderful
needlepoint shops in Houston proper and the Hospitality Desk can help
you with directions to all of them.
We hope you enjoy your visit to Deep in the Heart of Stitchin’.

Seminar Life Patron Luncheon
Guest Speaker
S herri Cooley, current Chairman of the
Presidents’ Skirt Committee and past
president of Lone Star ANG, will present at
this year’s Life Patron Luncheon. Sherri is a
current member of ANG and past president
of the Lone Star Chapter in Houston. She
has participated in that chapter’s creation
AUGUST 6 –10, 2020
of 21 chair seats for the Lady Bird Johnson
Wildflower Center (1999) as well as the
reproduction of the rug at Rienzi Museum www.needlepoint.org
in Houston (2004). Each year Junior Forum
members make a unique skirt adorned with
heavily beaded appliqués for the president
to wear to the annual fundraiser and other
special events. Originally conceived in 1948,
the earliest skirts had a “Fiesta” theme and
were fashioned after brightly patterned
Mexican skirts. Over the years the themes of
the skirts have evolved to a theme favored
by the president, or reflecting American,
Texas, or Houston history. The invitation only
luncheon will include a collection of the skirts THE WESTIN LA PALOMA
with a brief history and a short style show.
