HAPPY TO BE BACK!
Our website had an unwelcome vacation for the last 3 months but we are back! Your webmaster will take a couple of weeks to do some updating.
Our next big event is our Open House and Display of Work! It will be Tuesday April 18 from 1-5 pm. What will you see? Works from our recent classes; works from our online classes which took place during the pandemic; other pieces which our busy fingers have done on our own. That’s 3 pent up years of art ready to be displayed!
Come along and see what we’ve done and take a break in the Tea Room to discuss it all!
News
September 16, 2022
The Embroiderers’ Association of Canada has declared the last Saturday in September to be National Stitch-in-Public Day. That will be Sat Sept 24th, this year. While our Guild is not a member of the EAC, we are all in favour of stitching! So, you are encouraged to bring your work to the park or the mall or even your own front yard and let others see your love of embroidery! Have fun!
CLASSES
Classes are the heart and soul of the Guild and we are excited to be holding in person sessions once again.
We’ll take a break for the summer and be back with needles between fingers in September.
Check back here in late August for dates and lists of what we’ll be learning.
