Programmes and Calendar of Events

The Guild offers a diverse program that changes each year.  Generally, there are workshops, mini lessons and/or speakers on topics and/or techniques designed to enable our members to broaden their knowledge and expertise.

Meeting and Programme Calendar 2022-2023

Programme – House and Garden – The programme theme this year is House and Garden. There will be one project (any size, any technique) involving a longer time period which allows for a variety of techniques.  These techniques are covered in several one-day learning opportunities which include stitching flowers, ribbon work, crewel, blackwork and architectural embroidery. It also allows for interesting background techniques such as collage and printing. 

At our November 16 Guild meeting architectural embroidery was explored with a review of the straight stitch/stem stitch for outlining buildings. Members could work on a small  hands-on Blackwork sampler.  For more information,  samples and completed Blackwork samplers please see here: Blackwork Sampler Project

Our Programme Chair – Fiona, hosted a Colour on Cloth Playday on November 19, 2022.  For more information and pictures of the day please see  here: Colour on Cloth Playday

Our January 18, 2023 Guild meeting brought us together to discuss our preliminary plans for our House and Garden project.  Please see here for our  members’ preliminary designs: House and Garden Members’ Preliminary Designs  We are all looking forward to see the completed projects later in the year.
