Classes and monthly guest speakers are now planned Classes and monthly guest speakers are now planned for 2023. Not a member??? Please feel free to come along to one of our monthly meetings and see what we are all about. Interested in any form of textiles (or paper) this might be a great place to meet new people and have some fun. We don’t listen to ……..‘ I am not good enough’. OR ‘I am just a beginner’ Everyone of all skills are welcome. Meetings second Wednesday of the month - see website for the location. #That’s it- I am done…. Making cute little floral images. Now for the boring bit…. Attaching them to the background and add just a little more embellishment. The final look will be a peace symbol using about 200+ flowers I think it’s going to look gorgeous. Off to Melbourne tomorrow via Sydney!! To teach at the Victorian Embroidery Guild during their summer program. I am very grateful that they think my ideas about embroidery is something worth sharing. #peace #blackandwhite ##playingwithstitch #threadart # #embroidery #embroiderersofinstagram #embroiderylove #embroideryartist #embroideryart #stitching #dressmaking #community #canberra #crafts #textile # #fibreart #embroiderylove #societyofembroidery experimentalembroidery #embroidery #craftbook #embroiderybook #embroiderylove #embroideryflowers #embroiderymagazine #stitchersofinstagram #stitchmeditation #embroiderymeditation #textileart #bordado #bordados #theembroiderersguildvictoria

Each year we escape the heat, snow, hail, rain and Each year we escape the heat, snow, hail, rain and housework to have some fun at our Galong weekend retreat. A bit of shopping and lunch in the way in Yass and then it’s down to the business of having fun. Galong Gals was the main activity. But the writer of this post got confused and has also named them, COVID Chicks, Cover Girls, Glamor Gals, Superwomen, and Fiesty Friends. Lots of laughs could be heard down the corridors and at meal times. Almost no time to take a walk in the grounds as way too much fun was being had. #craft #galong #applique
