Princeton Embroiderers' Guild out and about, at the Festival of the Arts

This event is an annual event in Plainsboro, in and around the Public Library, celebrating all the arts, visual and performing, and our local artists.  We've been doing it for many years, and I, your humble blogwriter, have the honor of being one of the founders, so I'm always very proud to see it go well, and to take part.

 What we love to see!  someone signing up to hear more about us.  Thank you, Simone.

This year, our Guild was mobbed all afternoon!  Evie S., Florence L, Florence K, and Ruth L. and I were busy all afternoon offering information, instruction  and invitations to our Guild, to a stream of interested onlookers.   Quite a few of them took our blog flyer as well as our membership apps, so I hope they see this!  and some of them  appear here, too.
