What is B R E G A?
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Blue Ridge Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc. is a part of the Carolinas Region of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc.
The purpose is to foster high standards of excellence in the practice of the art of embroidery and develop an active program of education and study to meet the needs of its members.
BREGA also is about stimulating interest in the community and to hold meetings to exchange ideas about the art of needlework.
BREGA is also about the camaraderie of stitching. IT'S FUN to sit and stitch with others..to learn something new can be a challenge, but to do it with friends is always more fun; to be consoled when you have to rip out and to do a "Happy Dance" when you have completed a project
