CRVC
Display
It's never too early to start thinking about which of your pieces you'd like
to see in our next display, which will be November 2025 in the main branch
of the Granby (CT) Public Library.
The theme this time around is Favorite Techniques. Sure, we
enjoy learning new things, but we all have a favorite (or two) that we return
to again and again, be it canvas work, blackwork, Japanese, surface embroidery,
ribbon, beading, or cross stitch. At our first display in Granby 14
years ago, we had examples of 26 techniques!
We'll be collecting pieces in October and returning them in early
December. Drop-off and pick-up options will be publicized in
September.

Fund-Raising
For
many years CRVC had a library of needlework books. Several years ago,
the decision was made to dissolve the library and sell off the books.
The
remaining books from the CRVC library, as well as other books and needlepoint
canvases that have been donated to the chapter, are now available for
purchase. The
available
items can be seen/ordered as listed below.
The
proceeds from the sale of these items will come to CRVC with the funds going
into the education fund. You can make a purchase at a really good price
and benefit the chapter at the same time.
CRVC
