We are embroiderers, beaders, needlepointers, quilters, sewers,
and anyone else who is interested in the various needle arts.

Our local chapter has monthly meetings (September through June)
on the first Tuesday of the month.
Meetings vary in their programs.
We try to have meetings which over the year are of interest
to all of our members and their varying interests in needle work.
At meetings we may have - a guest lecturer, a workshop with a chance to learn something new, or time to work on our projects in progress.
Members are long time stitchers, those new to stitching,
and of course, lots of us who are in between or just enjoy learning about needlework.
Our chapter was started in 1971 and has been an active chapter since.
