Tauranga Embroiderers' Guild

Tauranga Embroiderers' Guild Sharing in the joys and trials of embroidery, teaching and learning new skills together A warm welcome awaits you!

The Day Guild meets every Tuesday at the Bowls Tauranga South building at Tutchen Street between 10am - 2.30pm, and Night Guild meets Wednesday in the Bethlehem area from 7pm - 9pm [Contact us for venue address and entrance details via [email protected]]. We cater for stitchers of all abilities, from beginner to advanced, and endeavour to encourage everyone to explore their stit

ching potential. Formal classes are run at the Guild on a regular basis and we also bring in outside tutors two or three times per year. Informal tutoring occurs all the time with various members offering their assistance. We have an extensive library which is available at no cost for Guild members. As a member of the Association of New Zealand Embroidery Guilds, we also have access to their learning resources. Whether you do cross stitch or any other form of needlework, or want to learn any particular needlework technique, whether it be traditional or modern, we have members who can help you learn in a friendly, social gathering.

This lovely purse is an original design by Janine Bigwood. She doodled a pattern, (shown under the bag) took part of the this and transferred it to fabric, stitching it in black. She than transferred the design with an ink jet printer onto another piece of fabric for the back of the bag. Very clever Janine.

Jenny Williams had this lovely bag (from an Inspirations pattern) finished some time ago and wasn't using it, thinking it too good. She decided life is too short and its going to be used. This has been worked in surface stitching and beads.
