New York Capital District Chapter, Embroiderers' Guild of America

Welcome to our website

NYCDCEGA members enjoying their September retreat at the Ararat Center.  Interested in joining us for the June 2012 retreat, contact Helen O'Connor at 518/439-7627.

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.  For more information about our chapter, e-mail our president, Helen O'Connor.
