Every couple of years the Guild holds an Auction of Works as a means to fundraise and for our local embroiderers to introduce their work to the community. The funds raised are used by the Guild to run activities such as workshops, retreats, meetings, and run the youth guild. Workshops may be given by invited instructors from around the world or our local expert stitchers.

We are holding an auction November 19-24, 2025. This year, we are excited to return to Bartlett Auction House for our online auction. Bartlett Auction is located on the 7th floor of Atlantic Place in downtown St. John’s. You must register at their website in order to place a bid.

You can preview details of the 2025 auction, including images of some of the items, on the 2025 auction page.

We encourage you to view the exquisite work of the St. John’s Guild of Embroiders, fall in love with these treasures, and take them home or give them to someone special as a gift.

Our previous auctions were 2015, 2019, and 2022.
