Lakeshore Creative Stitchery Guild

Develop your embroidery skills or learn new ones by taking advantage of the various learning opportunities offered by the guild. Whether you are a novice or experienced stitcher or, like most of us, somewhere in between, you are sure to find something that will interest you.

The guild runs in-person classes on Thursday mornings and/or afternoons from September to May at Centre Noël- Legault. We are fortunate to count among our members a number of talented and experienced instructors who share their knowledge and know-how in our classes. Our virtual Thursday meetings include stitch-alongs, stitch demonstrations, and tip sharing sessions.

Another learning experience available at the guild is the Special Interest Group (SIG), designed for members with a shared interest in a specific needlework technique. SIGs meet on Zoom on a Wednesday morning once a month for the entire season.

The guild also occasionally runs EAC/ACB project courses offered by the Embroiderers' Association of Canada/Association canadienne de broderie. Guild members with similar embroidery interests form a group to follow one of the many and diverse courses on offer from EAC, stitching together and helping one another learn. 

From time to time, the guild offers a class with an embroidery expert at the national or international level. These classes are a wonderful opportunity for members to watch and learn from a master needleworker.

Classes and SIGs are open to guild members only.
