CEG, London has made the difficult decision to cancel our annual Showcase of Textile Arts that was to be held on May 1 and May 2, 2020. Keep safe and healthy.

This choli (sari blouse) has some wonderful goldwork embroidery. This would have been worn by a bride to her wedding with coordinating sari. Goldwork embroid...ery was first seen in Asia and was being practised in South Asia (what is now northern India and Pakistan) as long ago as 2,000 years. This blouse is the work of talesofthayal on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/talesofthayal/ #goldwork #embroidery

This piece of bridal embroidery is worked with a tambour hook. It's also known as Point de Beauvais embroidery. Tambour bead embroidery is a technique with a l...ong history - going back to the 1500s in Europe. Tambour work arrived in Europe from Asia with the finest examples being imported from India, Persia (now Iran) and China.

This is 'Field with Poppies' and it's the work of embroidery and textile artist Natalia Margulis.

I haven't posted for a while partly because I can't seem to get to grips with the new layout FaceBook has imposed on us - I can't find things! Anyway, one of our members, Jackie, has been using her time very fruitfully and has a been making some fabulous books. They're just gorgeous.

A fun an interesting technique of cross stitching on photos created by Francesca Colussi Cramer. Using vintage photos with bright bold colours creates a contrast between the two. Find her on Instagram @francescacramer #photography #vintage #crossstitch #embroidery

Guild members spent a lovely morning social distancing at Gibbons Park. It was great to see everyone and we hope to do it again in 2 weeks.
