Anniversary Challenge
The 35th Anniversary Planning Committee issued a challenge to members. Members were given a gold needle, two pieces of dark blue wool (color of the Embroiderers' Guild of America), a piece of gold wool and a piece of coral wool (representing 35 years). Members had to use their creativity to create a needle book. At the June 2016 Bucks EGA meeting, members submitted their completed challenges.
