"I joined not knowing anyone. Within a month I had a table full of friends."
Since 1972, the Needlework Guild of Minnesota has been a home for hand stitchers across the Twin Cities and beyond. We gather to learn, share, and enjoy needlework together — all skill levels welcome.
Whether you embroider, do counted thread, needlepoint, or you're simply curious about handwork, there's a group here for you.
