Peach State Stitchers

WHAT IS THE POMEGRANATE GUILD?
It is a group of women and men at every level of ability in the needle arts and from every branch of Judaism who participate in programs combining a rich blend of needlework, culture, tradition and religious practices as these relate to Judaic textiles.
WHAT IS A “CHAPTER”?
Chapters have been established in many parts of the United States. The Atlanta Chapter, also known as “The Peach State Stitchers” was established in 1998. We have monthly meetings and a wonderful group of interested members who share their expertise and talents. In addition members at large are throughout the USA as well as Canada, Europe, Israel, New Zealand and Australia! Also new chapters are forming.
