NEATA have held our Chairmans Choice competition and the winner
was chosen, with the help of last
years winner, Wendy.
And here it is, the title was Castle Keep,
and the winning embroidery is a fine
depiction of that building.
Congratulations to Jean.
All the other entries can be seen below,
along with Jean being presented with her certificate and prize.
An independent stich group in Newcastle where embroidery and textile art is for all.
Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art (NEATA) is now entering our fourth year, (previously
Newcastle upon Tyne Embroiderers’ Guild), and is an independent stitch group.
Our aims remain the same, our meeting day remains the same and our venue
remains the same, see the About page for these details.
The January 2025 meeting was opened by Lynda, our Chair, who welcomed
two new members to NEATA. The group were asked to vote on continuing to be part of ANSG, the vote was carried. A report was given by our ANSG rep, Angela, reminding us about the next workshop they
are currently taking bookings for and the need to stitch brooches for their AGM fundraiser.
Our January 2025 meeting was a celebration of both our 2023 and 2024 projects,
which have now both come to an end. Lots of examples of the work completed during those
two years were brought along so we could all see the amazing work again, photo below.
The Chairmans Choice Competition, entitled Buildings was part of the afternoon,
followed by the bran tub, and a lovely afternoon tea including cake.
The group monthly project for 2025 is 'Flowers', and this months suggestion was
to embroider a crocus. A template was available for those wishing to take part.
Our calendar for 2025 is on the Meetings and Workshops page.
Photos below are:
the first eight are the competition entries, followed by 5 pieces completed during 2024,
followed by 2 of the slow stitch project, one from the stump work workshop
and finally the December project of hearts and trees.
We are delighted to add a Facebook page and Instagram page for our group
and they can be found at Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert in embroidery and textile art,
you are welcome to attend our meetings.
If you wish to learn, we will do what we can to help you.
