An independent stich group in Newcastle where embroidery and textile art is for all.
Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art (NEATA) is now entering our fifth 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.
Our first meeting in 2026 was a social afternoon, where we spent some time looking back at the project completed by many members from 2025. Photos of all the very different interpretations can be seen below.
Congratulations to all who finished, the results are amazing, the different stitches used
are varied and shows the imagination of the ladies who took part.
The project for 2026 is postcards. The lead for this exciting new project is Wendy,
who explained how it would work each month, and also demonstrated possible ways of storing them.
Any ladies unable to attend the meeting and need more information, please contact
Wendy directly by email.
Following the 2025 photos of finished pieces, are two pieces from a workshop with Deb Cpooper, two from the quilt workshop and further down, the other amazing work our members have completed.
The first 2026 competition, the Chairman's Challenge, for April, is entitled 'Time for Tea'.
This is in remembrance of our late member, Pauline, and in recognition of her generosity in
leaving her 'stash' to the group. The idea is that any items taken from her stash are
incorporated in the piece, remembering, she was not only an embroiderer but had many
other skills in the world of craft.
Our chairman is hoping our imagination will take flight!
