ASG PUBLICATIONS
There are many benefits to joining the American Sewing
Guild. In addition to making new friends, sharing ideas and receiving
discounts, you will receive two quarterly publications to keep you up to
date with the latest sewing news.
The national magazine, Notions, contains tips and
techniques, news from the sewing industry, reports from other
chapters, and communication from the national board.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter newsletter, SeamsWrite!
contains news of interest to local members. It includes the President's
Podium with a message from the Chapter president. It also includes
book reviews, neighborhood group
news, and retailer info, as well as other information.
NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP
MEETINGS
Neighborhood Groups are the heart of the chapter. These
groups meet monthly to learn and share ideas with others
who sew. Members have lots of fun making projects for themselves as well
as charitable projects like Christmas
stockings, blankets, cancer caps, toy bears and much more. Neighborhood
Groups activities also include
presentations by other members or retailers, field trips to fabric
stores, help with fitting problems, and other
programs determined by each individual group. Click on the
CAB/Groups link for more information.
As an ASG member, you may attend any Neighborhood Group meeting.
Guests may attend up to two meetings. If
another Chapter is offering a special speaker or event, you can attend
at the member price. Non-members can attend Neighborhood Group
functions; however, there will be a Visitor's Fee of $10 per event after
two complimentary guest
visits.
