Southern Oregon Artists Resource

I create one-of-a-kind jewelry and wearable art that combine ethnic and modern themes with contemporary techniques. I begin each needlewoven necklace with fibers and yarns, then add metals and semi-precious stones for strength and sparkle. My scarves are handwoven on a floor loom or are nuno-felted with merino wool on silk chiffon.

Our guild is part of a larger regional group, Mountain Stars Quilters Guild. Guests are welcome to join us-we specialize in fine appliqué and hand quilting, but all techniques are used and shared in our friendly meetings. We share our collection of quilts depicting Southern Oregon history at community events & quilt shows, and hold an Annual Quilt Show in July.

Join us for a business meeting, book report, lunch, program and socializing. You don't have to be a weaver and any skill level is welcome at no charge. Bring a sack lunch and your projects or questions about weaving. We have workshops once or twice a year, so call first to see what's happening. Ask for your 2 month free trial subscription to Rogue Rovings, our newsletter.

We're a local chapter of the Embroiderer's Guild of America, Greater Pacific Region, founded in 1993. Our members include all ages and skill levels. We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month for friendship and stitching (see SOAR's calendar for more information). Members of other chapters and interested people are always welcome. We also hold workshops on particular techniques, along with other opportunities to learn.
