Show & Tell - May 2023

Each Meeting we show off our completed pieces ... This month we had some "Works in Progress"

Faces Guild Group Project is our submission to the EAC-ACB Seminar 2023 in Winnipeg.  It is based on a Contour Line Drawing program we did earlier this year presented by Ann Alcorn.

Stampede Challenge is our guild's change to show off during the annual Western Showcase Art Show during Stampede.  Each guild member has been encouraged to submit at least one piece to this event to show all the varied types of fibre art we do!

Fibre Potpourri: The Magic of Embroidery

We had a great time at our event!

Below are some of the photos from our Event!


New Photo Section for 2023!

Each Month during our meeting we have a "Show & Tell" where members can bring and show-off their recently completed needlework ... we also do theme months where we can pull out older works and share them with our members!

This winter we are starting a new section on the website were we will show off our work by style rather than by month! ... Are you new to stitching and don't know what is out there you can learn?  This will be a section for members and the public to see what are members are stitching!

New photos will be added each month after our Show & Tell events!

Look for it using the drop-down menu under "Who we are"

We also have a large library of "How To ..." books that you can borrow as a member!
