Maison Dieu Heritage Embroidery group

Join our informal heritage embroidery group to make friends and

learn some exciting new 'old' skills inspired by historic

needlework and the Maison Dieu. These sessions are run by

volunteers from the Maison Dieu ambassadors and the Friends of the

Maison Dieu, who class themselves as enthusiasts not experts they

are keen to share their knowledge and experience. They welcome

input and suggestions.

Participants are always welcome to bring stitching work of any

kind they have already started no matter the style, or spend time

devising a new project.

Most ladies can stitch maybe only to pop a button back on, but

historically, it is the oldest craft – laborious stitching animal

pelts together and making clothing.

Heritage stitching on our level nowdays often means a quick

cross stitch birthday card, or that runaway button but there is SO

MUCH MORE.

This month we will be working towards a small but exclusive

display of local embroidery/embroiderers work.

Come and join us, love to meet you
