Annual Members' Competition 2005

The Annual Members' Competition is open to all Members of the Embroiderers' Guild. In 2005 the competition theme was Domestic Bliss.

As you will see, many of the compositions include figures and these were drawn and embroidered with great attention to detail, skill and affection. The awards were generously donated by the Worshipful Company of Broderers.

In 2006 the competition theme is *100*.
