Our chapter meetings for January and February both fall on city holidays, so our normal meeting location is closed.  Jill R. has come to our rescue and we will be meeting for an afternoon of stitching, eating (potluck), and our meeting.  Please see the calendar for additional details. 

Happy New Year!  Why not resolve to enjoy more stitching time?  Maybe learn a new technique?  Please come visit us!  We love to see new people and their projects whether they are beginners or experts or somewhere in between. 

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 (on the 1st Wednesday of the month through June) 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.
