Blackmore Vale

We are a branch of the Embroiderers' Guild in Dorset and we have a large number of members interested in all types of embroidery, sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet and textile art. We have a bi-annual exhibition in conjunction with Dorset Arts Week. This year is our 25th Anniversary. We hope you enjoy looking at our work and activities during our meetings and workshops.

Retrospective - August 2012 - Hedebo

In August 2012 we invited Grace Lister to teach our members some traditional embroidery in the form of white work - hedebo. Grace is a member of a neighbouring branch, Avalon in Somerset and she has been a teacher for more years than she would like to admit to.  She loves to preserve the techniques and beauty of hand stitching for future generations and has had a number of articles published in Stitch magazine, the project magazine of the Embroiderers' Guild and other well known and established embroidery magazines. The members soon mastered the technique under her expert eye.
