The Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc., (EGA) is a national non-profit educational organization offering study and preservation of the heritage and art of embroidery. EGA membership is open to anyone interested in needlework, from the beginner to the professional.
Yoy may join EGA as a:
- Chapter Member - As a member of a local chapter, you will hone your skills and meet others who share your passion for stitching. Benefits include regularly scheduled meetings, workshops, lectures, stitch-ins, and participating in group correspondence courses.
