Don't forget to sign up for the Toronto Guild's 2-day January Workshop.
Introducing Romanian Point Lace to be given by Sylvia Murariu.
Registration will close on January 20, 2012 - Details below

A festive time was enjoyed by all at our December holiday parties with lovely treats and record levels of participation in our gift exchange.

The Evening Group has a busy year ahead. The fun starts in January with a slide show on embroidered clothing -- both historical and modern. Our members will be keeping their hands busy stitching a Hedebo bookmark designed by Jette Roy-Finlay in February. We return to India in March when we will stitch a scissors or key fob. For April Pat Armour has designed a beautiful luggage tag that will let us try our hands at pattern darning. We hope to have a speaker for May. June will see the Evening Group throwing a fabulous pot luck dinner and ending the evening with a surprise.

For the new year, the Day Group is planning 3 types of finishing techniques in January; Speaker Judy Carlson in February; a Hardanger project in March; a Field Trip to the costume workshop of the National Ballet of Canada in April; an outreach project in May; and our wonderful closing lunch in June.

Our Stitch Day is set for February 25, 2012.     Happy New Year to all!
