15.01.2022 Today was the last day of the Guild’s 2020 BOM class - Long Time Gone Stitching. This canvaswork embroidery design by Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes is based on Jen Kingwell’s quilt, Long Time Gone. We think you will agree that the students have done a spectacular job, especially as the class had to switch to online teaching during lock down earlier in the year.

11.01.2022 The 'Constructing & Finishing Techniques' workshop seemed it would be such a dry topic but instead proved lively and engaging with so much sharing of information from the local guild tutor - Faye Phillip. Cushion covers, book covers, inserting embroidery into other projects, fastenings, needle cases. Each project done with such an amazingly simple technique.
