Social Afternoon and Library / Cuboard Clearout

Friday 12th October was a normal social afternoon. Robi and I decided to take on the task of sorting out the cupboard that contains our library and equipment and we managed it in around an hour and a half. We were so engrossed that I forgot to take photographs of everyone's work. Oops! Next week we will be bringing in antique or interesting embroidery tools to have a look at. Unfortunately I may not be there and therefore there may be no pictures next week either :@(

New Term and Beetles

I am out of routine with updating all the sites after the Embroiderers' Guild meetings. Please forgive me :@)

Friday 28th September was the first day back. We had a normal social afternoon and there was a lot of catching up after the summer holiday, but there was plenty of stitching as well. I took some photos of the things we are doing.

Friday 5th October we had a workshop by Ruth on stump work beetles. Unfortunatey I forgot to take pictures, but there is one so you can get the idea.

Next week (Friday 12th October) is a normal Friday social afternoon. Feel free to pop in and join us :@)

Last Day of Term

It was our last meeting of this academic year. We will meet up again in September. Despite the excitement of it being the end of term, we did manage to get lots of stitching done!

Tribute to Dylan Thomas

Swansea Embroiderers' Guild are having an exhibition called 'Tribute to Dylan Thomas' at the Civic Centre, Swansea and so there were several pieces being finished off. The angel and face are based on his poems and the bird is unrelated to the exhibition

Stamping and Banner Letters

We had a very inspiring Friday afternoon with Robi who showed us the work she had done at the stamping workshop. She also brought with her some of the techniques she uses to stamp.

The letters for the Embroiderers' Guild banner are coming on well, there are only a few left now.

Next week is a social week and then there is only one more week until we break up for the summer holidays

Friday was a normal social Friday, there was lots of fun, stitching and tea! Here are some of the things our members have been doing

Last Friday Before Half Term

It was the last Friday before half term and because the weather was not very nice there were a lot of members today. We did have vilene leaves planned, but everyone was so engrossed in their own work, that we just did our own thing
