Cynthia's is now the monthly meeting location for the American Sewing Guild local chapter. There are two groups that meet. The Eclectic Threads group is diverse, and our presentations vary, depending on the month, including those applicable to embroidery, garment accessories, quilting, sewing machine techniques and fabric crafting. We focus on techniques that can be applied to any sewn item, and occasionally, we'll do a project-based presentation. We also do sewing for community service organizations. The Eclectic Threads group meets from 10 am until noon on the 3rd Wednesday of each month except July and December.
