MEMBERSHIP

Membership to ASG is open to those who share a love of sewing. For each person, joining ASG is a personal decision. Our members may sew clothing for themselves and their family. They may decorate their home with new draperies or a duvet that they have designed and sewn. Many members quilt and make bed quilts or quilted Art Wear. Others may sew for fashion dolls or for children's dolls.

ASG members have knowledge and skills ranging from beginners to professional level. All levels of skill are welcome at the Albuquerque branch. Our members share information and assist each other with projects. There are community groups who get together to sew projects between our general meetings.

At many meetings techniques are demonstrated. There is a Show & Tell at each meeting to share projects and ideas.

Members are invited to become active in the Board in order to propel new ideas and form a cohesive plan for each year. To date, the Board has brought in professional speakers; created community projects such as, "Sew for the Cure" (hats for recovering cancer patients), and cloth dolls for sick children. And, just for fun, an ugly fabric exchange in which members sew projects into treasures.

Members receive "Notions" newsletter from ASG Headquarters; "Biased Opinions" newsletter from the local Albuquerque Chapter; 10% group discount card from JoAnn's fabric store; monthly meetings with door prizes; a lending library of books, videos, and patterns brought to each meeting; and a membership list (members may opt to not have their name listed).

New Member Annual Dues are $40.00.
Renewing Members Annual Dues are $35.00
