About Us

We are a group of individuals who are passionate about needlework and fiber arts of all types. Our skills range from beginner to expert. We are quilters, crocheters, fiber artists, weavers, knitters, needlepointers, beaders, cross-stitchers and more. Our members enjoy workshops, lectures, tours, making projects and needlework challenges throughout the year. Most importantly, we have a camaraderie that makes everything we do fun! Come join us, leave your everyday cares behind you and enjoy learning, laughing, creating and doing it with a group of friends!

Mission

Our mission is to heighten the concept of Hiddur Mitzvah in our community and create a visual legacy to hand to the next generation. Members share a common interest in Jewish tradition and the desire to create Judaic needle and fiber projects for family, home, synagogue and other communal institutions.

Meetings & Programs

Chapter Meetings & Programs are usually the 2nd Monday of each month at 7 p.m., unless otherwise noted. After a brief Chapter meeting an educational program or project is usually presented. When we are able to meet in person our Monthly Chapter Meetings & Programs are held at:

4470 N Shallowford Rd
Room 1 (on the left when you enter the building)
Atlanta, GA 30338 (Located in Dunwoody)

We will meet on Zoom from October through March

Newcomers are welcome to attend 2 events before being asked to join. If you will be attending one of our meetings as a newcomer please send us a message by clicking Contact Us on the menu at the top of the page.

There will be a nominal charge for guests attending meetings where kits are provided as part of that meeting's program. The fee will be determined according to the contents of each kit.

Stitch Ins

We meet the first Thursday of the month on Zoom. We start at 10:30 a.m. to stitch and chat. This is temporarily on hold.

Special Programs & Workshops

From time to time the Chapter sponsors special programs and workshops that are of interest to our members. These events are usually held on a Sunday and last ½ day (3-4 hours) and have a cost associated with them.

In January 2020 the Chapter sponsored a workshop thanks to generous donations from a former member’s family and friends. The workshop was held in her memory. The class “Textured Collage” was taught by the owners of Fiber on a Whim. This was a members only event with a class size limit along with a partial kit fee.

Field Trips

Our members like to get out and explore the local art community together. Occasionally the Chapter coordinates a field trip outing where members can carpool, receive group rates and enjoy an exhibit or tour together.
