Report of Dragon's Needle Embroidery Guild - Drachenwald
5th report by reporter / guild head: Lady Racaire
Soon November University in Germany will start and before the time period of this report ends, the Guild Charter is hopefully going to be signed by Their Majesties Judith and Gerhardt - it's already approved by now and an important part of my luggage.
I hope I will see some of you at University in Germany - attending the Guild meeting or my 'Klosterstich' class - please don't forget to bring your embroidery projects for the Guild Display!
(btw. I will be in Hamburg and therefore won't be available in the following time period: 10th - 16th Nov.)
