Many of the island’s embroiderers will be out in force this weekend to mark a national celebration of needlework.

Members of the Isle of Man Embroiderers’ Guild will be holding a public event to mark National Stitch Day, at the Mount Murray Golf Club on Saturday, June 22, from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

The embroiderers will be stitching and sewing their own projects, and will be on hand to discuss techniques and various different crafting methods.

Anyone interested can come along with their own projects and join in.
