Embroiderers' Guild of America

Members work within local chapters or a member-at-large network to improve their skills and knowledge.

The Guild's definition of embroidery is intentionally un-confining: anything made "using a needle with an eye in it".

[2] Three women, Dorothy (Mrs. F. Huntington) Babcock (formerly Dorothy Doubleday), Margaret (Mrs. Daryl) Parshall, and Miss Sally Behr (later Pettit) form a needlework class in Mrs. Babcock's New York City apartment.

The following year this group launched the American Branch, Embroiderers' Guild of London.

[3] The organization's head office in Louisville includes a gallery for displays from its permanent collection and changing exhibits of embroidery.
