Greater Pacific Region
Embroiderers' Guild of America
Welcome to the Pacific Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America (EGA).
We are a virtual chapter, meeting by Zoom and email only. Although we are domiciled in the Greater Pacific Region (GPR) of EGA, we welcome members who do not have a local chapter of EGA, or are unable to attend in person meetings, or who simply seek an online community of stitchers. We welcome stitchers of all levels. Our members enjoy a wide range of stitching, from smocking to cross stitch to counted canvas work and just about everything in between. Annually, our Chapter chooses one Group Correspondence Course, provided by EGA, and we participate in a second course chosen by our region (GPR).
We conduct Zoom "Stitch-Ins" twice each month: the first Saturday of the month from 11am - 1pm PST and the third Tuesday of the month from 6pm - 8pm PST. We hold three Chapter business meetings each year, via email and a dedicated Zoom meeting.
We can be found on Facebook at "Pacific Chapter GPR EGA".
