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 stitching 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.

A beautiful cushion stitched by Janine. This is a technique called Mola, and was stitched as a group stitch. Love the blue and chocolate colors.

The mola technique uses reverse appliqué: several layers of different-colored fabric are sewn together, then parts of the top layer are cut away to reveal the colors underneath. The edges of the cut layers are folded under and stitched down to create the final design.

And on a roll, this lovely little bag, done with Brenda Davidson, has been finished by Cathleen.

Cathleen made this gorgeous rice bag (a patten from StitchMakers)using liberty fabrics, so pretty, and already full of stitching bits and pieces.

Joann Ingram made a bag from an old blanket embellished with her own creative design. I'm sure it will get lots of use.
