2024-26 Board
EAC/ACB President Terri Briggs announced the incoming board members for the 2024-26 term. The following volunteers have agreed to serve: Thank you to all the volunteers who are working for our association and in our chapters!
News: Projects and Courses
Speaker Series presentations and some EAC/ACB projects and courses are available to non-members. The Board of Directors approved this change to allow people interested in our association and what we offer a chance to “try before you buy.” Prices for non-members will be higher than those for members. The best way to view the EAC/ACB website is to log in before you navigate through the rest of the website. That way you’ll see and pay members’ discounted pricing and all content will be available for you to read, see or download. Go to log in (it will open in a new tab) and bookmark the page now! To purchase projects and courses at members’ discounted rates log in to your My EAC/Mon ACB account and navigate to the course or project you want to take. Those can be accessed from the EAC/ACB Shop. You will need to enter your membership number and expiry date during the checkout process. This information can be found in the latest issue of eThreads or from your membership chair. In the case of individual members, please reach out via the contact page. Note that all the longer courses in the technique study program will still be available exclusively for members. Watch for new choices being developed and sourced by the Education team!
Canadian Embroidery Tapestry
The project that we have called Project 150 for the past few years has a new name. In May 2019, the project lead, Helen McCrindle, received word that the Canadian Embroidery Tapestry has been officially accepted into the Government of Canada’s Crown Collection. More than 650 Canadians of all ages and origins stitched on the project and more than 8,000 hours of work were recorded. You can read some of the updates from the Project 150 Lead, Helen McCrindle, or read more in the recent article in the North Shore News.
