NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS


The Olympia Chapter has a Neighborhood Group (NG) for any interest - quilting, machine embroidery, garment fitting, garment construction, computer aided quilt top design, creative projects for hearth and home and more.  We have at least two different Neighborhood Group meeting each week so it's easy to find a group to fit your sewing passion almost anytime you want.  Below is the list of active Neighborhood Groups along with their schedule for the remainder of the year.

Feel free to drop into any NG meeting.  Wear your name tag and earn 25$ in chapter bucks!
