CLASSES
We plan to continue to hold online gatherings for our programs and Stitch ‘n Chat sessions from September to end of November. For the meeting schedule see above. For the meeting links, please email us. All members will receive a copy of our August newsletter with the details.
We are tentatively planning for the resumption of classes in January 2022.
MEMBERSHIP
ALL MEMBERSHIPS
For the 2021-22 year, all memberships will continue at $40. If we are able to resume classes in January 2022, we’ll be obliged to ask for a further $40 (to cover rent and teacher costs). Registration details will be in our August newsletter or contact us at cegguelph@gmail.com for queries.
OPEN HOUSE
Open House is planned for Tuesday April 26, 2022 from 1-5 pm at Kortright Presbyterian Church in Guelph. This is a free show of the work of about 75 artists, showcasing our classes and work we have done outside of class. Since we have missed displaying our work in 2020 and 2021 this should be a tremendous show covering three years’ work!
NEWS
- Stitch in Public!
September 7, 2021
Here is another chance for you to get together with other stitchers. It’s National Stitch-in-Public Day as declared by the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada. Every year it is the last Saturday in September and that makes it September 25th this year (2021).
CEGG will reprise our gathering from World Embroidery Day. We’ll take our lawn chairs to Exhibition Park in Guelph from 10 am to noon. Wear your coat and bring your threads! Bring a friend! It’s a big park so we’ll gather at the entrance near Kathleen Street and Tipperary Place.
And if you, dear reader, do not live near Guelph please find a nice park or a mall or your own front yard and stitch in public!
- Registration for 2021-22
August 4, 2021
We’ve been thinking about our upcoming 2021-22 year and the easing of the pandemic. We are not yet ready to resume in-person classes in September so we plan to continue our online meetings. We’ll meet for a Stitch ‘n Chat on Tuesday September 7th at 10 am and we can answer all your Registration questions then.
We’re very excited to announce that our first online program will be a talk by Dr. Susan Kay-Williams from the Royal School of Needlework! Her topic will be With Just a Needle and Thread.
We hope to resume live classes in January of 2022 and are making plans for that, at this time.
If you are interested in joining us and would like more information and details on how to Register, please send us an email at cegguelph@gmail.com and we’ll send you our August newsletter which will also give you the online meetings schedule.
