Enseigner et promouvoir l'art de la broderie depuis 1971

The Lakeshore Creative Stitchery Guild is a non-profit organization aimed at promoting and teaching the art of embroidery in the Montreal area. We are a group of about 80 stitchers with a passion for needlework in all its forms. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in embroidery, from novice to expert. We meet weekly on Thursdays and every other week on Tuesday evenings at Centre Noël Leg

ault (245 Lakeshore Road) in Pointe-Claire. We also hold monthly evening meetings, which take place at Stewart Hall (176 Lakeshore Road) in Pointe-Claire. The guild season begins in September and continues until May. A chapter of the Embroiderers' Association of Canada, the guild is run entirely by volunteers who plan and organize a program of activities that include classes in a wide range of embroidery techniques at beginner to advanced levels, needlework exhibitions, public demonstrations, all-day stitching get-togethers, and more.

FYI…

Thread painting of a completely different sort: this stunning portrait by Kumi Yamash*ta is made with three simple materials: a wooden panel, brad nails, and a single, unbroken length of sewing thread.

A wooden panel, painted white, serves as the canvas.

Thousands of galvanized nails are driven into the panel.

A single, continuous black thread is wound around the nails, with the density of thread varied to create shadows and highlights to form the delicate facial features.

For left-handed embroiderers, a new book by Yvette Stanton!

To celebrate International Left-Handers Day today, I have a very exciting announcement for all the left-handers out there. No, my book “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” is not coming back. EVEN BETTER: It’s been fully revised and expanded and is being re-released under a new title:

The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Stitch Dictionary
by Yvette Stanton

Now in hardcover, with 240 pages and just under 300 stitches and variations.

WOOHOO!! Left-handers everywhere, REJOICE!

It will be released in Australia in December this year, and early next year everywhere else. It is now on my website for pre-order, and books will be posted when our shipment arrives late this year. More information is available on the website, including the full list of stitches included.

For all the right-handers (and lefties as well), stay tuned because I have another exciting announcement coming soon.
