Virtual Show and Tell of Neapolitan Members Art

This is a way for our members to "Show and Tell" during the Covid crisis.

The above items were all made by Judy Winterhalter. The first picture on the left is a beaded ornament of the Earth that she gave to her husband. The next item is a bookmark designed by Catherine Jordan. Then there is an orange "pumpkin" Temari Ball.

Betty Baechle - This is Ivory Coast color selection for “Turkish Delight”.

Teacher was Barbara Ellis. This was a Neapolitan chapter class.

Chris Zogus - First one is a 1989 piece called "Blue Diamond Opalescence". The piece was "won" at a closet sale years ago and has always intriged me. Second one is an Alison Cole piece "Jacobean Splendor". I always learn at least one new technique when doing her pieces - even if it nearly kills me (ha-ha).


We are the Neapolitan Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, and, as such, part of EGA's Sun Region which encompasses all of the Florida chapters and Bermuda. EGA's Mission: The mission of the Embroiderers' Guild of America is to inspire passion for the needle arts through education and the celebration of its heritage.
