There is also a Canadian Embroiders' Guild , but I don't have their
address.

All guilds offer Educational courses - seminars, group & individual
correspondence courses, Master Craftsman programs, lending libraries,
slide libraries, and study boxes. The EGA seems to be most active in
that respect. NEEDLEPOINTERS  is a WONDERFUL magazine. Just thinking
about it gets my needle finger itching.
