Welcome to the new season of the Largs & District Embroiderers' Guild.
This year we'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary and we have some special events in store to celebrate this milestone.
For starters, a Tenth Anniversary Project is planned for members to work on. There's nothing better than to work on a project together and Pat and Lottie have come up with some exciting ideas about a joint project. Several meetings will be devoted to it, and a Saturday morning could be arranged if we need extra time.
We aim to have a finished product for the next West Kilbride Exhibition in June/July 09. Everyone will be able to participate.
To celebrate our tenth anniversary, a lunch will be held on Saturday, 7th February at a venue in Largs yet to be arranged. We're hoping that many members, old and new, will join us at this special occasion.
We meet at TocH Hall, Bath Street, Largs on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm and 3rd Wednesday at 2pm.
Contact us on our Embroiderers' Guild page.

Annual Exhibition at West Kilbride GalleryThis year, we celebrate our 10th anniversary with this exhibition called "RETROSPECTION". Members will show off the best of their works made during the last 10 years. This inspirational exhibition, held in the west of Scotland's well known Craft Town of West Kilbride, is sure to make many heads turn!
The August Exhibition in Largs Library, will follow the theme of "THE HOMECOMING" from 10-14 August.
