We will have our Annual Meeting with the election of officers for 2024-2026

to have a "Project Swap". Please bring any no-longer loved projects
and we can swap with each other. Any projects not selected will be
used for the fundraising efforts for our chapter.

"S"ing. Soft twist silks in solid and overdyes will be combined with
braids, crimped purl, check purl, and pearl purl. For dimensional effects
we will work the detached elements separately on sheer fabric in the creation
of this exquisite embroidery. Students will be encouraged to use their
own ideas in color and stitch interpretations.
