Chapter Programs

One of our goals as an ANG Chapter is to learn new techniques as well as have fun through projects presented at our chapter meetings.  We also encourage socializing, learning from one another, and sharing completed and in-progress works. Members can see our Chapter Meeting summaries here.

For 2025 Chapter Programs, we are focusing on learning techniques such as ribbon work, starting/ending threads, beading, Bargello, and Rhodes stitches.

Since one of NJNA’s missions is to give back to our community, we have done various Community Service Projects over the years.  Our most recent Community Service Projects are Alice Peterson’s Children’s Classic Books canvas, which was presented to the Bernards Township Library for the Children’s Library and Hearts for Hospice.

We have also spent time remembering some of our members who are no longer with us (NJNA Remembers…).
