WELCOME TO the san diego chapter of
the american needlepoint guild
~NEEDLEPOINTING IN THE 21ST CENTURY~
SDANG celebrates the art of needlepoint!
SDANG celebrates the art of needlepoint! Needlepoint’s history can be traced as far back as 1500 BC in ancient Egypt; through European tapestries completed by Royal and aristocratic families; through our grandmothers’ pillows, seat cushions, and Christmas stockings; and now into a revival filled with an explosion of stitches, colors and creativity trending on TikTok. Now you can see needlepoint as 3D ornaments, standing figures, and purses to name a few.
As SDANG members, we promote our art by teaching, demonstrating, and showcasing why needlepoint is currently popular to people of all ages in many countries. If you stitch on painted canvases, counted or line drawn canvases or cross stitch, there’s a place for you!
Interested in learning?
We provide kits and instruction to anyone interested and hold events marketing needlepoint to the public. We sponsor workshops and programs that bring Nationally recognized artists and experts to San Diego and to all our members around the country through the latest technology. As we stitch together, we not only create amazing art, we also create lifetime friendships. for you – come join us!
