In 2006 the North West Region of the Embroiderer's Guild celebrated the Centenary of the Guild by holding exhibitions in 3 National Trust properties. The North West Region is divided into 3 areas - Area 3 exhibited at Little Morton Hall in Cheshire, Area 2 exhibited at Gawthorpe in Padiham and Area 2 exhibited in pieces at Sizergh Castle.
Blackpool branch is in Area 2 and these are the pieces that were exhibited by the members at Sizergh Castle.
This is a group piece - small cushions inspired by the castle and its gardens worked in a range of different stitches. Each member worked their own preferred technique. The pieces were assembled together and expertly finished off by Marge Quinn.
This piece has since made an outing to the Fashion and Textile show at Harrogate when a selection of pieces from all 3 National Trust exhibitions were on show representing the North West Region.
It has also been exhibited at the Art Studio at the Blackpool Library.
These pieces also exhibited at Gawthorpe were created by individual members.
