Brandywine Chapter

The Brandywine Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America is a group open to everyone. 

Our purpose is to set and maintain high standards of design, color, and workmanship of all types of needlework.  We hope to promote creativity and stimulate the exchange of ideas.  We welcome beginners and hope they will learn and grow in their interest and skills through our workshops. classes, and lectures.  We think you will find we are a friendly, happy group and hope you will find lots of things in our programs that you'll enjoy and have fun trying!  

We are based in the Wilmington, DE area.  In addition to membership from Delaware, we also have members from Southeast PA, Maryland and New Jersey.
