In late November of 2000, our EGA chapter lost a very special member. Peggy was so warm and giving. Just a really neat lady. She left her needlework stash to my friend, Margarita. One day, while visiting wih her, she commented that she didn't know what she was going to do with all of the beads that Peggy had given her. I looked at the beads, mostly in small containers, and suggested that I could mix several colors together and make her a beaded bag. She really like the idea and together we picked out the colors. Now it is August 2001. I had Marg's bag completed, but just hadn't gotten around to working on the strap. She called me up and invited me to help her celebrate Peggy's upcoming birthday. The thought of not only finishing up Marg's bag, but making two more (one for myself and Peggy's daughter, Nancy) and giving them out as "presents" came to mind.
