Threading the Needle Newsletters

The Knoxville Chapter has a long standing history of communication through chapter newsletters. As noted in our About Us page, our first newsletter was coined "The KEG", with the printed logo, "a little barrel of information" for the Knoxville Embroiderers' Guild.

​

Today, we enjoy our "Threading the Needle" newsletters each month. These newsletters provide a wealth of information about chapter members, educational opportunities, activities, and initiatives, as well as fun nuggets of information and projects to try. 

​

These newsletters are distributed by email to members each month. They are also catalogued and stored in our Directory App.
