Shared Lunch: Our shared Lunch is always popular and we try to cater for all tastes. We ask everyone to bring something to share, either home cooked or bought. Please do not bring a large quantity of food; we tend to have lots left over that just goes to waste. Kim is coordinating the food, so please contact her to tell her what you would like to bring. Kim can be contacted by e-mail at chair@megonline.co.uk

The altar frontal, commissioned by All Hallows to celebrate their 150th Anniversary was handed over to the vicar, Reverend Cannon Nicola Milford. The completed altar frontal was the result of 18 month’s work by our members. The project was lead by Gill Roberts, and is something of which we can all be proud. The photograph shows All Hallows Altar Cloth with co-Chair Kim Parkman on the left and Project Co-ordinator Gill Roberts on the right

Our recent Chicken Scratch Workshop with Miranda Farby was very successful, and really was enjoyed by all. Miranda guided us through the steps to making a gingham cushion cover and we all achieved a lot as you may see from the photographs here. In fact, Sandra has completed her embroidery and is ready to proceed with making it into a cushion cover.

Here are the completed banners for Merseyside Expressive Stitchers’ group. Many thanks go to all members who embroidered the beautiful squares, and thanks to those members who spent hours assembling the banners and doing the final stitching towards completion. We are very happy with the final result.

North West Regional Day 2021 

Saturday 24th April 2021.

Our first ever Virtual North West Regional Day  was a triumph! We had 112 people registered and 103 attendees on the day, which was enjoyed by all. Our Speakers – Linda Miller, the acclaimed Machine Embroidery artist, and Michele Carragher, Principal Costume Embroiderer for Game of Thrones were magnificent. They both shared their work and were a great inspiration to us all. The Rose Bowl and Aurifil competition entries were up to the usual high standard and the winners were announced at the close of the day. The Rose Bowl was won by Sandra Kendal from North Lonsdale branch with PSYCHEDELIC LOVE and the Aurifil Award for Excellence was won by Diane Moore from Merseyside branch with A GLIMPSE OF VENICE. Congratulations to all the winners! Have a look at all the comments and reactions, also the Raffle Prize winners here https://www.megonline.co.uk/nw-regional-day-2021/
