- EGA membership is open to anyone interested in needlework, from the beginner to the professional.
- Members work within local chapters or a member-at-large network to improve their skills and knowledge.
- Chapters offer scheduled meetings, workshops, lectures, and stitch-ins
- We offer individual and group correspondence courses and teacher and judge certification programs
- Eleven separate disciplines in master craftsman programs are offered
- EGA and its chapters regularly hold workshops featuring local, national and internationally recognized artists
- A national, juried exhibit is sponsored every three years with both members and non-member submissions
In addition, EGA has acquired a textile collection of nearly 900 pieces through the generous donations of those who recognize our dedication to the preservation of textiles and the promotion and education of needle arts. The collection, established as a resource for study and research, is made available to the membership for study as well as for exhibits.
