WINNIPEG EMBROIDERER'S GUILD
DESCRIPTION
The Winnipeg Embroiderers' Guild (WEG) celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013.
WEG spearheaded the founding of the Embroidery Association of Canada (EAC), and every year,
EAC holds a national seminar and in 2013 it was in Winnipeg. As a 40th anniversary
project, WEG decided to design and register its own tartan, a sample of which WEG members
could wear to identify them as hosting members so that seminar attendees would know who to
seek out for help.
The colours chosen are pink and cream, the official
colours of WEG, blue one of the official colours of EAC as well as for the many lakes and
rivers in the province of Manitoba and yellow for the wheat grown in the province and its
legendary many days of sunshine.
This tartan was designed by Nicole Collette and Gillian Miller.
