Following the AGM at our October meeting we had a very interesting Talk by MEG Chair Vicky Williams entitled “Liverpool Cathedral Embroideries. The photographs do not do the exquisite goldwork stitching justice, so it is well worth your while to visit the Elizabeth Hoare Gallery at Liverpool Cathedral and see for yourself.

The Chair’s Challenge competition was also judged today. The theme was “Your Favourite Green Space in Merseyside” and the winner was Diane Moore. Congratulations Diane! The theme for Chair’s Challenge 2020 is “Precious Jewels”

It was National Stitch Day 2019 on Saturday 22nd June and Vicky, Hilary, Liz, Karen, Brenda and Dilys met up in the magnificent setting of the Great Hall in Speke Hall, Liverpool for an afternoon of stitch.

Dilys Parry, one of our members, generously organised a trip to Kendal on Saturday 3rd

June to view the Quaker Tapestry. We had a very enjoyable day with sunshine all the way! The Quaker Tapestry Exhibition Centre staff were very friendly and informative, and the cafe served delicious food as well! Unfortunately we were not permitted to photograph any of the embroideries, but many thanks to Gill Roberts for the lovely photographs of our group.
