The Embroiderers stitch in public and celebrate our fortieth anniversary

We had a good turnout of about ten stitchers, all bringing work in progress, to celebrate National Stitch in Public Day and our fortieth anniversary as a chapter. Our current work ranged from counted cross stitch to needlepoint, to crewel, to goldwork, in many designs.

Displayed on our work tables was a wonderful array of finished projects, ranging from hardanger, to freeform, to cross stitch, to embroidery on dyed silk, in addition to the two cabinets of work on display until the end of March.

You see some of the finished works on the table in front of Carol G. as she discusses our activities.

Eve Mandel, Director of Programs and Visitor Services of the Historical Society of Princeton, came by to meet us, with a view to some future cooperative ventures with the Historical Society in their new location.

Among the array of great work displayed was this hardanger cloth by Carol P., now in the collection of her daughter.

We had a great afternoon with a steady stream of interested visitors, many of them expert stitchers themselves, a great way to celebrate our fortieth anniversary as a chapter!
