was chosen, with the help of last
years winner, Wendy.
And here it is, the title was Castle Keep,
and the winning embroidery is a fine
depiction of that building.
Congratulations to Jean.

An independent stich group in Newcastle where embroidery and textile art is for all.
Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art (NEATA) is now entering our fourth year, (previously
Newcastle upon Tyne Embroiderers’ Guild), and is an independent stitch group.
Our aims remain the same, our meeting day remains the same and our venue
remains the same, see the About page for these details.
The April 2025 meeting was a zoom presentation by Anne Brooke, The talk revealed the story of
her journey and how she arrived where she is today. Anne's inspiration, her working progress
through to the realisation of her stitched collage and other work. It also focused on
the change in direction from 2021 to present day and the development of #sew4thesoul
and how she has became more obsessed with stitch ever since. A very enjoyable afternoon.
Photos below are March's topic, daffodils. Lots of lovely embroidery using many differnet stitches.
Next months flower suggestion is tulip.
The following photos are from the workshop with Victoria McCloud, We 'played' during
the morning with various papers, then
moved onto landscapes in the afternoon. A fun day, and some finished results!
Our next competition is to be completed by Sept the theme is 'Shells'.
Any medium and no larger than A4.
A small change to the May 24th workshop has been made. The theme is now either
blackwork or crewel work. Bring your own work along, and if help or guidance is needed, it is available.
Members will not be charged for this workshop.
Our calendar for 2025 is on the Meetings and Workshops page.
We are delighted to add a Facebook page and Instagram page for our group
and they can be found at Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert in embroidery and textile art,
you are welcome to attend our meetings.
If you wish to learn, we will do what we can to help you.
