Thank you to everyone who came and made the Library's World Embroidery Day event such a success! We hope you had a wonderful time. Here are some of the many wonderful creations on the day.

The World Embroidery Day next Wednesday 30th July, you might like to join me to stitch in the "Quick Choice" relaxation area of the University Library from 12.00 - 2.00 pm. You can bring your own project but I'm sure I'll have some spare needles and threads on me if you don't have anything or would simply like to have a go.
There is also a display of some new books on the subject and the fabulous Selvedge Magazine in the display case in the atrium. If you have any small bits of embroidery you would like to incorporate in the cabinet, please let me know.
Everyone is welcome! Proficient embroiderers to complete beginners.
Tell your friends,
Greta
