Embroidery and Textile Art

Stamford Stitchers

The Stamford Stitchers Group enjoy a wide range of techniques with interests in all forms of embroidery and textiles, from traditional to modern free motion machine embroidery. Some members specialise in other textile arts, weaving, felt work, eco dyeing and art quilts. The group are keen on promoting embroidery and the benefits of craft for mental health in the community and membership is increasing as people discover the group and that it is open to all.

Stamford Stitchers is a relatively new group, but the majority of the members were previously in the Rutland and Stamford Embroiderers Guild.  The Embroiderers Guild withdrew all support to groups in spring 2021. R&SEG as a group had previous experience of putting on exhibitions, the last major one was at Stamford Arts Centre in 2018.
