The purpose of this group is to promote heirloom quality stitching specializing in Multi-Stitch Samplers, Drawn Pulled Thread and Hardangersom. I hope that through suggestions, examples and personal stitching experience we may all learn from each other and create not only cherished needlework heirlooms for our families and friends, but lasting "stitching friendships."

Sampler Guilds are encouraged to post any information pertaining to their guilds including upcoming programs and seminars. Needlework designers are welcome to inform members of new designs which may be of interest to the group as well as manufacturers keeping us abreast of any new fabric/colors and new threads/ribbons/colors!

Welcome to The Heirloom Needles ~ and as needle artist Mae Rockland Tupa states, "The work of our hands begins with a single stitch" ~ then let us begin!
