Join us for a "Celebration of Fabric and Thread" at our beautiful St John's Anglican Church, Portsmouth.

Here you will discover a display of traditional and contemporary quilts and wall hangings, made by the Kingston Heirloom Quilters. Enjoy a beautiful display of many different styles of embroideries, like Blackwork, Whitework, Goldwork, Hardanger, Crewel, Cross-stitch, Kantha, Mountmellick, Sashiko, Schwalm, Smocking, Stumpwork and others, all hand-embroidered by members of the Cataraqui Guild of Needle Arts.

There will also be a display of bobbin lace made by the "Lupins and Lacemakers".
