New England Region - The Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc.

Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont

Welcome!

to the Web site of The New England Region of The Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc. (EGA). We invite you to come join us, sharing our love of stitching, as we preserve the needle art of embroidery and participate in educational programs. EGA has approximately 20,000 members in 354 chapters in 13 Regions scattered across the United States, plus one chapter on-line. Our National Headquarters and the Margaret Parshall Gallery are located in Louisville, Kentucky.

The New England Region Inc., affectionately known by its members as NER, has approximately 875 members in 12 chapters. These chapters and their area groups are located in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

As a region, we offer Group Correspondence Courses, a Region Day educational program or tour and other educational opportunities. A multi-day seminar or stitch-in is held each year giving region members a chance to study with nationally recognized teachers.

Don’t forget to remind new members that we have a beautiful NER pin. Then pick up pins for members, both new and old, who would like one. The cost per pin is $5.00.

Message from NER Director

The Board could not have been more dedicated, hard working and full of ideas! I have been proud to report
all our successes to The National Board. I can't thank you all enough.
Thank you all, too for my Dovo embroidery scissors, and more importantly, the fob with a bead representing
each Chapter. What a great and touching gift!
Yesterday, a new Board was elected. (Listed elsewhere in this newsletter) I know that they, under Beth's
direction, will lead this Region to even greater successes.
I will not be leaving the area as soon as I thought, so I will see many of you at various meetings and events
and I look forward to seeing some of you at the National Seminars, including the newly announced 2015
Seminar in San Antonio, Texas (my retirement town)-Y'all come!!
Pat


It‘s hard to believe that the holidays are upon us and that I am starting my term as Region Director. I can
only hope to come close to the job that Pat has done for us over the past 3 years.
It‘s not just a sad day to see Pat leave her RD position, but it‘s worse yet that she is leaving the region to
move back to the great state of Texas! Anyway, I want to especially thank her for her dedicated service to
the region but also for her patience in answering my numerous questions. She will certainly be missed by
all.
I‘m eagerly looking forward to serving as your Region Director and working with the new incoming board
members. I‘m also looking forward to our 2013 seminar next year in Hartford and am hoping to see many of
you there. If you haven‘t had the time, make sure you take a few minutes and check out the wonderful
classes that are being offered and sign up soon! Happy Holidays everyone!
Beth
