NEATA have held our first exhibition
since becoming an independant stitch group, and from the
comments received it was a success. 

After all the hard work putting it up,
there were many lovely 
visitors over the six days.

Photos below are of the Taster Workshop Day,
followed by last months Book Project embroideries.
and the Slow Stitch project.

 

Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art is now entering our third 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 August meeting was the Taster Workshop Day, three mini projects were run, Hexagons,

Embroidered Tea Bags and Chicken Scratch Lavender Bags. Photos below of the afternoons work:

imaginative and varied results. Along with tea and lots of cake, an excellent social afternoon.

​

A reminder of the next competition, which will take place at the September meeting.

The title is Art Deco, and can be any medium up to A4 size.

Its the members choice who wins the voucher.

​​

See below the results from the Slow Stitch project for last months title,  weaves, tassles and cords.

No slow stitch prompt in August, giving anyone who needs it, a chance to

work on previous months prompts.

All the information needed to start off and continue each month is on the Activities page.

Contact Wendy at the email on the Contact page if stuck.

​

There were ideas left from the book project, some are incorporated into the new project,

the remaining ideas have been allocated one to each month in 2024.

 For those wishing to continue with the book project in 2024, a list of the remaining topics is available

from Wendy, e mail a request if needed.

July's topic was Sunshine, see below the work that was on display at the meeting,

 August's topic is Holidays.
