Millwood Chapter

Columbia, SC

Origin

The chapter was established in October 1975, and was named "Millwood" for the home of Confederate General Wade Hampton.

Meeting Information

Regular meetings are held at 2:00 P.M. (except June and December are luncheons) the second Sunday of each month at Spring Valley Country Club, 300 Spring Valley Road, Columbia, SC.  There are no meetings in July and August.  Handicap accessible .

Meetings are generally devoted to stitching, and the chapter tries to have an ongoing group project.  Currently, members are working on Anthony Minieri's "Stars for a New Millennium" as a year long project.  Those not participating in the project bring their own stitching to meetings.  Over the years Millwood Chapter has done many EGA group correspondence courses as well as some of the smaller projects.

Membership

Annual dues are $35.00 through September 30, 2005; $45.00 thereafter.

Guests

Guests are welcome to attend two meetings before deciding to join.

Special Interest Groups

Outreach

The current project is framed samplers for new homeowners under the Habitat for Humanity program.  Members are also participating in the EGA Heart to Heart program, having worked the original heart sampler as a group project.  The second heart series was also worked as a group project, but each member selected a different heart.  The latest heart is being considered for a group project next year.

Millwood Chapter has done a wide range of outreach activities including baby quilts for battered women's shelters, a funeral pall for the SC Correctional Institution, dolls for children's hospitals, and several items for the Governor's Mansion.
