Merrimack Valley Chapter - News

Merrimack Valley Chapter meets monthly April through December on the third Tuesday.  Meetings start at 7 pm at the Tewksbury Congregational Church. Stitch-ins are held January through March on the third Tuesday

We have an exciting set of programs planned, including our biennial seminar in April with Thea Dueck and Nanci Cucci, a program on Kumihimo braiding in May, a beaded embroidery called “Edward Scissorfish” in June and September, the amethyst gemstone ornament in August and November, a flower made from a zipper in October, and classes in Japanese Embroidery in May and September.  See the NER Calendar for specific dates.

It is too late to sign up for either of the project classes at our two-day biennial seminar, but there are still a handful of openings for Studio Time. Also, if you are in the area on Saturday April 28, you could come join us for our needlework yardsale and/ordinner.  The deadline to sign up for studio time or dinner is April 18!

Contact Pat Timpanaro (pat@NeonFlamingo.com) for information on everything but the Japanese Embroidery.  For Japanese Embroidery classes, contact Marilyn Shesko at mmshesko@gmail.com
The Merrimack Valley Chapter has 69 members.
