The Shining Needle Society (SNS) -- Mission Statement:

To provide nurturing and inspiring opportunities for growth in the study of needlework, with the hope of continuing the legacy of embroidery art for future generations.

About SNS:

The SNS is a friendly, supportive group that seeks to provide connections for enthusiastic stitchers and the teachers who inspire them. We sponsor online support groups for needlework classes.

There are no dues for SNS and membership is open to interested stitchers.

SNS Home Room is our main communication vehicle for all SNS activities. New online support groups for needlework projects will be announced on this list.

So how can you participate in Shining Needle Society?

We're set up like a school, so Home Room is for announcements of future activities and it doesn't generate many emails

Our SNS groups include:

SNS Home Room - everyone in SNS should be on this list. It's for announcements ONLY.

SNS GAR Classroom - an open classroom for those who love Gay Ann Rogers' projects

SNS Student Lounge - sharing and conversation related to stitching and needlework
