Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the EGA
Programs in 2024
July daytime and evening program
It's time to share what you've learned when learning a new technique by showing off your "first" project for that technique, or your "worst" project of any technique. This includes your first/worst attempt at finishing. This will be a learning experience for all, as we each share what we learned after trying something new!
September daytime program - Golden circle goldwork

Workshops
For our guild workshop this year Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes, from Beautiful
Stitches, will present two counted canvaswork embroidery classes in person at
Stitched Up Needleworks. Ann-Marie’s passion is helping her students to create
beautiful hand embroidered items. She believes in building creative confidence
so that everyone can discover the joy of making and creating. Each stitch is a
small brush of love on the fabric.
If she had a time machine she would go back as a rich person to the Jane Austen
era--just so that she could wear a gorgeous dress of embroidered silk and dance
with a handsome gentleman wearing pantaloons!
