IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to the San Diego budget crisis, all the community rooms have been shut down.  After seven years in the Clairemont Community room we are relocating to Livewell at 4425 Bannock Avenue.  This is one block south of Clairemont Mesa Blvd and Genessee.  Our meetings are now on the third Monday of the month.  Our next meeting is coming up soon—May 18th. We have arranged to have open stitching 5 to 7pm and our regular meeting and program 7 to 9pm. The Chat & Stitch meetings through June will be at the Mission Valley Library. 

*******************

Are you a stitchaholic?  Do you want to learn?  Live in the San Diego area?  Visiting? 

Whether it's cross stitch, needlepoint, crewel, ribbon embroidery, or anything else you can create with a needle, you've come to the right place.  Muchas Manos is a group of people who love to stitch.  Our get-togethers give us the opportunity to carve out some stitching time and relax.   Please stop by our chat and stitch evenings (generally on Mondays) as well as our monthly meetings (3rd Monday) in the Clairemont area of San Diego.  Please see our calendar for upcoming events.  We welcome guests to join us in some stitching and meet us. Nervous about just showing up?  Contact any one of our board members to learn more. 

What is Muchas Manos?  In addition to be being stitching fanatics, we are a chapter of The Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc., (EGA).  The EGA encourages you to stitch in any technique you enjoy.  You can stick with the one technique you love or branch out and try something new.  What you stitch is entirely up to you.  Some of the techniques the members of the EGA enjoy include:

Appliqué, Blackwork, Brazilian Embroidery, Canvas Embroidery, Color & Design, Conservation of Textiles, Contemporary Embroidery, Counted Thread Embroidery (including Cross Stitch), Crewel Embroidery, Cutwork Embroidery, Drawn Thread Embroidery, Ecclesiastical Embroidery, Fabric Embellishment, Fine Handsewing, Hardanger, Hedebo, Lacework, Machine Embroidery, Metal Thread Embroidery, Mixed Media Embroidery, Needlepoint, Painting and Dyeing Fabrics, Patchwork, Pulled Work, Quilting, Schwalm Embroidery, Shadow Work Embroidery, Silk Embroidery, Smocking, Stumpwork, Surface Stitchery, Tenerife Embroidery, and Whitework.

The EGA is comprised of 13 regions.  We are part of the Pacific Southwestern Region (PSR).  Our region is home to members in 24 chapters located throughout Arizona, Southern Nevada, and Southern California.

The EGA offers a wide variety of opportunities to take classes in your favorite (or a new) technique.  These opportunities range from online classes to one-day workshops to week-long seminars. Some are hosted by individual chapters, others by the region, and some are national.  You can choose whichever fits your interests, lifestyle, and budget.  

Thank you for visiting.
