What we’re about
Madison isn't all young adults, some of us are over 50, but young at heart! If you live on or near the isthmus, are over 50, and are seeking new friendships, join us. We'll meet primarily between 10am - 5pm, with some events in early evenings. Are you retired? still working from home? caregiving for a spouse and need an outing? new to the area? looking for friends to meet up with to enjoy the farmers markets, trips to the library, music on the terrace, lectures, walks to galleries? recovering from an injury and need to get back into your groove? Join this group of locals in Madison WI. Meetings are held downtown more often, but we also plan activities on both East and West sides.
P.S. If we meet in a coffee shop or restaurant consider buying a drink or appetizer.

See all- Embroidery Presentation at Madison Embroiders' Guild (FREE - For women 50+)Bethany United Methodist Church, Madison, WI
Do you enjoy stitchery of any kind? Attend a Madison Embroiders' Guild Lecture on stumpwork - a decorative textural form of embroidery that reached its height in the 17th century. Your host has enjoyed her hand at it in years past, and hopes to be inspired to bring out her needles and thread. The presenter is Ms. Celeste Chalasani, a life member of the guild, and teacher of these techniques.
Please RSVP here on Meetup by June 6 so I can acquire a head count and provide it to the guild. There is no door fee. Of course, you may visit their site at here to become a member for $68 annually, and admission will be free. The guild asks that you become a member if you attend more than 2 events.
In the photo section I've included a book by Tatiana Popova, who has some inspiring patterns and ideas for a modern take on stumpwork.
