Mid-Atlantic Region Seminar 2022 is extending the deadline to submit teaching proposals until July 1, 2020.

We encourage you to submit your most enticing pieces (see NOTE below) for this time of stitching fun. We are looking for pieces that will grab the interests of our region members, something a bit out of the ordinary that pushes the envelope.
