Members of the Trillium Embroidery Guild were invited to the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Scarborough Needlearts Guild held at Scarborough Bluffs United Church on Kingston Rd at Scarborough Golf Club Road. It was a stitch day which also included a catered lunch. Many of our Trillium members also belong to the Scarborough guild.
Several of us attended: Marilyn, MaryK, Jeanette, and Bev from the east of Durham, and Judy, Barb and I from the west of Durham. We carpooled and all arrived at about the same time.
I didn't get any photos of people - just the displays.
This is 'Cotton Quartet' designed by Mary Corbet. I'd seen Jeanette's made into a needle roll and after my Why Not Stitching intro piece, I'm really inspired to stitch this myself.

Alphabet band samplers. I have one half finished somewhere - abandoned at about 'q r s t u'.

This collaborative banner depicts many 'Scarberian' scenes from the past and present.
Deputy Mayor Paul Ainslie was present to present this certificate to the guild.
There were also archivists from Scarborough and the city of Toronto who spoke of the importance of maintaining archives for the research for future generations.
Of course, Thomas and Ernest joined me and supervised my stitching. Because my birthday was closest to the celebration day, I got to take home the begonia against which Thomas and Ernest are propped.
Judy safely got us home at the beginning of rush hour traffic.
We all enjoyed a very fun day of stitching and celebrating.
