The Embroiderers Guild of America in Florida

Chapters

The map below indicates the geographic “center” of the 14 Sun Region chapters.  Every chapter has its own personality.  Most EGA members choose to belong to the “face-to-face” chapter nearest their home, but some choose to belong to a more distant chapter or to several chapters.  It’s not necessary for an EGA member to belong to a “face-to-face” chapter.  EGA has a Members-at-Large category and we have a vibrant Internet chapter called Cyberstitchers
