Rio Grande Valley Needle Arts
McAllen, Texas
An active, energetic chapter, we offer a wide variety of
educational opportunities - from one-on-one help to classes with well-known
teachers. Socail events reange from stitch-ins in member's homes to
luncheons, Christmas party, and an annual Sleepover.
We are a warm friendly group who welcome all interested stitchers at any
level of handwork knowledge. Located in the Rio Grande Valley which attracts
many people who come just for the winter, we have a fair number of plural
members who are here only in the winter, and we are always happy to have
them back. We try hard to keep things lively while they are here, and still
have other attractions during the summer for those who live here year
around.
