| Meeting Information |
First Sunday of each month at
Trinity Episcopal Church, 31st. Avenue, Myrtle Beach, SC, from
2-4:30 pm.
Chicora Stitchers is a maximum
learning and stitching group (minimum business meeting) which emphasizes
hands-on learning programs every month and at least two day trip outings per
year.
Programs during 2005
will include the last stitches for the mystery band sampler and items to
supply a needlework box, bag or basket (an "etui") with coordinated items.
In creating such items as a needlebook, laying tool case, eyeglass/telephone
case, scissors case, scissors fob, straight pin holder, and a cover or
lining for the etui, members will explore pulled thread, creating fabric,
crewel work, Trapunto, and crazy quilting, and learn about Deerfield Blue
and White crewel work.
Two world traveling members will describe their trip to Australia and
Australian needlework, and a pot luck lunch and teacup auction are planned
for late summer.
In the spring, members will travel to Angelwings, a needlework shop in
Southport, NC, and take the ferry to Wilmington for an afternoon of shopping
in "Old Town". Summerville, SC, the home of an expanded needlework
shop, a quilt/fabric shop, and other neat shops, will be the destination of
the fall road trip.
The annual Christmas lunch
is held at a different location, and includes an ornament exchange, secret pal
drawing, favors, and door prizes.
