Contact | Majestic Mountain Needle Arts

Majestic Mountains Needle Arts began as a Charleston area satellite of Tri-Area Needle Arts which is based in Huntington, WV. The organizational meeting was held in August of 1997. Majestic Mountains Needle Arts was chartered December 12, 1997 as a chapter of Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Our first meeting was held at First Presbyterian Church in St. Albans, WV on January 15, 1998 with 20 members present. Since then, we have continued to inspire passion for the needle arts through education and the celebration of its heritage to our members and the public.

Where do you meet?

We meet the 3rd Thursday of each month for a short business meeting and usually an education program. Stitchers gather in the meeting room as early as 5:30pm to mingle and stitch before the business meeting begins at 6:15. MMNA is currently meeting at the Dunbar Public Library 301 12th Street, Dunbar, WV. If Kanawha Co. Schools close on meeting day for inclement weather, MMNA is cancelled. Check our website, Facebook page or email mmnaega.info@gmail.com if you aren't sure.
Are needlework beginners welcome?

YES! We were all beginners once and our members vary in their needlework experience. Our only requirement is an interest in the needlework arts and that can be anything created through the eye of a needle.

Can I donate a needlework 'stash' to your EGA Chapter?

We receive a lot of inquiries from the public about donating unwanted needlework supplies or the 'stash' of a loved one after they pass. Unfortunately, we do not have the storage space to accept donations of needlework supplies, floss, yarn, kits, patterns, fabric, etc. We suggest searching Facebook for 'Needlework Stash Exchange' groups where items may be donated, sold or traded.
