Over 100 items will be displayed at the Warkworth Embroidery Guild’s 26th annual exhibition at the Old Masonic Hall on October 30 and 31 from 10am to 4pm.

The guild has 36 members and the exhibition is held once every two years.

The exhibition comes on the back of a successful year for the guild. Two members were recognised at a regional exhibition at Estuary Arts Gallery in Orewa last month, which drew entrants from 11 guilds from Doubtless Bay to Pukekohe.

Maureen Young won first prize in the Dorothy Clarke Traditional Award, and guild president Shirley Pygott was awarded a Highly Commended certificate in the Shifting Boundaries – Beneath the Surface section.

Member Glenys Wild says the guild is a friendly group of stitchers who are always willing to share their knowledge and help younger and newer members. Their meetings are held twice monthly with a casual meeting one Saturday a month.
