NEATA have held our third members
choice competition.
And here is our winner, the title was Art Deco, and the winning embroidery is a fine example of that era.
Congratulations to Wendy, our winner.

Our next competition is to be completed
for our January meeting, the title is 'Buildings'.
Any media but no larger than A4, winner to be decided by our Chair, Lynda



 

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 December meeting was a relaxed afternoon; a chance to meet up, chat and stitch, 

It was Christmas themed stitch afternoon, with a choice of two designs,

either a Christmas tree or a festive heart. A few photos of the ladies working and their early progress are below.

We look forward to seeing them completed at the January meeting.

Also below are photos of the slow stitch project to date, along with other

lovely pieces completd during the last month.

​

Our January 2025 meeting will be a celebration of both our 2023 and 2024 projects, which have now

both come to an end. Please bring along your completed Books and Slow Stitch projects,

so we can all see your amazing work again. We also look forward to seeing the pieces for the

Chairmans Choice Competition, entitled Buildings.

If you wish to take part in the bran tub, its a stitch related item to the value of £5.

 

​Our third AGM took place in September and was well attended. the Chiarman, Lynda,

started the afternoon with her thanks to the committee, the sales table ladies and the IT ladies.

Roz Glenn has resigned from ANSG and we are looking for another

member to take on that role on behalf of NEATA. (update, we now have a new rep, Angela Rourke)

We held a memorable exhibition this year and had an even more memorable talk

by Pat Stansby on her Japanese embroidery journey.

The financial report was given by Kay, we have 48 members this year which is 3 more than last year.

All the workshops were well supported and this year will see some new ideas for themed stitch days as well.

We had our first on-line speaker, and have another, Anne Brook,

booked for this year, along with flower making and a talk on spinning to look forward to.

The 'show and tell' we had went so well we are using the same format at the November meeting.

Festive hearts and Christmas trees are the December meetings stitch project, and the January competition,

Chairmans Choice, title is 'Buildings'.  The group monthly project will be 'Flowers'.​​​
