Welcome to the web page of the Chelford Branch of The Embroiderers' Guild.
The branch was established in 1991 and currently has 70 members who meet on the third Wednesday of the month (not August) at Chelford Village Hall, 7.30 start.
Wed. 16th Sept - Jean Thornton - The Quaker Tapestry and the stories behind the stitches.
Wed. 21st Oct - James Hunting will be talking about his current work at the usual Wednesday evening meeting, followed by a workshop on the Thursday.
PLEASE NOTE James Hunting has cancelled on us with less than a month to go as 'something else has cropped up' even though the booking was made a year in advance. However, we are extremely fortunate that Peggy Fearne has agreed to step into the breach and will be talking about her textile work to date. A lot of her bags are currently in an exhibition but she will bring what she has available.
