site revised   24 September 2008

The Cotswold Branch was the founding Embroiderers’ Guild Branch in this part of the country, taking members from as far away as Worcester, Hereford, Ledbury, Tewkesbury, Malvern, Stow, Stroud, Cirencester and Gloucester. Today most of these areas have their own branches.

We are affiliated to the Embroiderers’ Guild whose headquarters are in London.

There are branches throughout the country, split into areas and we belong to the Southwest Region. Our area representative is Diana Hammond.

Our aims are to encourage learning and sharing enjoyment of textiles with like-minded people of all ages.

The Cotswold Branch warmly welcomes anyone interested in stitching and the related arts.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact the chairman Ann Hampton.
