Who/What We Are
The purpose of this organization shall be to foster the highest standards of excellence in the practice of the art of embroidery through an active program of education and study and to preserve the heritage of the art of embroidery.
Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month at the Westminster Presbyterian Church located on the corner of Walnut and Edwards streets in Springfield, IL. Meetings start at 7pm. Everyone is welcome: remember to bring a friend and your Show & Tell items.
Program
The program will be making ribbon candies. We will be making chocolate candies as well as stripped ribbon candies. Those who were at the June meeting already received the handout; copies will be available for others at the meeting. It was distributed early so members could look through their ribbon, bead, and thread stash for materials to use. If you have chocolate brown, red & white or red, white and green stripped ribbon at least 1-2" wide, please bring it with you. Ribbons (peppermint stripes and chocolates) will be available for those who don't have a stash. Bring needles and thread snips, and your junk scissors to use to cut wired ribbons - wires will in most cases be removed so if your ribbon isn't wired it is certainly useable.Monthly Challenge
