RNCAS Spring Craft Challenge
The Canberra Show has launched the RNCAS Spring Craft Challenge. This is a great opportunity for members to share some of the work that they have done during the lockdown. Prizes are on offer and all entries will be photographed and displayed online. Entries close 25th September with drop off at Hall on 9th October. We might be able to arrange drop off and pick up for any members unable to do this themselves – send an email to the Guild if you need help.

Note that entries in this challenge will still be eligible to be entered for next year’s Canberra Show.

Golden Wattle patterns for sale
In May 2015 the Embroiderers’ Guild ACT was commissioned to embroider a specially developed Golden Wattle design on a blanket that was the official gift from the people of Australia, for HRH Princess Charlotte. After completing this commission, the ‘Blanket Embroidery Team’ went on to develop small projects using part of the original design on items that are of interest to stitchers and embroiderers. The projects are a card, a paperweight, a scissor keeper, a trio of pin cushions, a book mark, a needle book. Patterns for these projects are now available from the Embroiderers’ Guild ACT at a cost of $5.00 per pattern (by email) or $6.00 per pattern (printed and posted). For further details, see the order form:

Hello Robyn
After a great deal of consideration, regrettably, we will not be holding our Exhibition this year. However our members are still busy stitching, so keep watching Facebook and our blog for more activities planned for later in the year.
