On display through May 8 at the Folk Art Center\u2019s Main Gallery is an exhibit titled \u201cThrough the Needle\u2019s Eye: The 20th<\/sup> National Exhibition of the Embroiderers\u2019 Guild of America.\u201d Once called stitchery, this craft form has merged with the Southern Highland Craft Guild\u2019s fiber medium and is now commonly called embroidery, the art of creating textile designs with a threaded needle. More than 70 creations will be on display.<\/p>\n

The exhibit, which is traveling across the nation, is a juried show that was first displayed in the spring of 2014 in Colorado. It will continue touring until early 2017. Featuring both traditional and contemporary embroidery techniques, it includes free motion and digitized embroidery, beading, quilting, surface embroidery, fabric manipulation, counted thread, appliqu\u00e9, canvas and gold work, and crewel. Pieces in the exhibit range from clothing, wall hangings, jewelry, and vessels to sculpture.<\/p>\n

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 6, the Laurel Chapter of the Embroiderers\u2019 Guild of America (representing approximately 450 members from North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia) will sponsor a \u201cstitch-in\u201d at the Folk Art Center. Chapter members will share various needle art techniques and answer questions.<\/p>\n

The Embroiderers\u2019 Guild of America works to collect, preserve, and exhibit historical needlework and contemporary fiber art, and ethnic embroidery.<\/p>\n

The Folk Art Center is the headquarters of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located at Milepost 382 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Guild is an educational nonprofit organization founded in 1930. To learn more, visit craftguild.org<\/a> or all 828.298.7928.<\/i><\/p>\n
