St. John’s Guild of Embroiderers

The St. John’s Guild of Embroiderers is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage and promote the knowledge and practice of the art of embroidery, in all its forms. The Guild also wishes to foster a fellowship of persons who enjoy needlework and wish to learn and share their knowledge, thereby maintaining high standards of design, colour and workmanship.

The St. John’s Guild of Embroiderers is a chapter of the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada (EAC). The national organization aims to preserve traditional techniques and to promote new challenges in the art of embroidery through education and networking.

In addition to our website, we have a Facebook group as well.  Check out some of our member’s works on Instagram.

The St. John’s Guild of Embroiderers meets each month from September to June. The monthly meetings are held on the last Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at Corpus Christi Church Hall on Waterford Bridge Road. Meetings in June and December are usually socials (sometimes potluck suppers) and the dates for these are often changed from the usual meeting times. Guests are always welcome!

If you enjoy stitching – or think that you might enjoy it – why not come and check us out? Our members range from expert stitchers to absolute novices – there will be something for everyone to do and to learn.
