Stitchers who show up
for each other
"I joined not knowing anyone. Within a month I had a table full of friends."
Since 1972, the Needlework Guild of Minnesota has been a home for hand stitchers across the Twin Cities and beyond. We gather to learn, share, and enjoy needlework together — all skill levels welcome.
Whether you embroider, do counted thread, needlepoint, or you're simply curious about handwork, there's a group here for you.

Find your group
Seven groups meet every month — open Stitch-Ins and specialty groups across daytime, evening, and weekend. Members are welcome at any and all; come for the program or just bring your own project, no experience needed.

The Retreat
The highlight of the guild year. Three days away with nationally recognized instructors, your favorite projects, and a whole community of stitchers — all in one place. It's exclusively for members, and it's worth being one.
