 Chapter Exhibit 2010

Celebrating our Heritage in Stitches

May 13-16, 2010,  Pruyn House, 207 Old Niskyuna Rd, Loudonville NY

Featuring the  "America the Beautiful" tapestry which measures 10 ft by 4 ft.

 It was stitched by members of EGA and uses a wide variety of stitches to highlight the flora, fauna and geography of the USA

 

The simple needle and thread have been used for centuries to create beautiful works of art. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced stitcher, you can learn more about the creation and techniques of embroidery with our meetings and workshops, as well as enjoy the friendship of others interested in the needle arts. The emphasis of our chapter is on education-no skill level is required and we are all ready to share our knowledge with other members.
