Message from NER Director
Summer 2010
The mission of the Embroiderers' Guild is to stimulate appreciation for and celebrate the heritage of embroidery by advancing the highest standards of excellence in its practice through education, exhibition, preservation, collection, and research.
Message from the Director
Here come the lazy, hazy days of Summer! This is the time when most of our chapters take a
break or have stitch-ins to try to catch up on all the wonderful projects started during the
program year.
Some of us will continue working to make all the events coming next year as inviting and
educational as promised. Do read about Region Day in September, Seminar 2011, "Pining to
Stitch", in April in Portland, New Correspondence Courses offered through NER, and all the
programs and classes coming in the Summer and Fall in our Chapters.
I hope to see many of you at the National Seminar in San Francisco in September. I hope, too,
that you will join me in congratulating Marilyn Sames as she receives our Region's Golden Thread
Award for all her service to the Southern Maine Chapter and the New England Region.
Enjoy the Summer and the stitching, gardening, good times with family and friends
and whatever brings you joy,
Pat
