How about this for an idea?

What to do with the collection? 

I'm sure that there isn't one member of the EG, past or present, that wouldn't like to see the vast historic collection used in a positive manner.  Surely, though, this is a unique problem, and not one for which there is a suitable answer?

Well, I just happened across this wonderful site, and it would appear that enough money has been made from the project to further protect the collection and, in fact, invest in further items.

Maybe the EG has been looking at the wrong field of exerptise to give them advice?

I have to be honest, I'm a little disappointed that more people haven't joined us on Facebook.

Polls

You'll find the polls in the right hand column. Please take a little time to click the answers that apply. Send your friends along too. Let's get a good idea of the current feelings of members.

What's it all about?

I’ve been a member of the Embroiderers’ Guild for just about as long as I have been interested in textiles. Just lately (well, over the last several years, really) I’ve been more and more concerned at the way things are going. I’m hoping this will start an interaction between members. Please leave comments, and if you join the debate we may be able to get something going. Watch out for polls, it would be good to get some feedback.
