GWE was formed in 2007 to serve the Swindon and North Wiltshire areas of the country. We are a very local group and we meet in the daytime at a venue in Cricklade, . We enjoy stitching together and exhibiting our work at local venues. We also enjoy activities and workshops organised by an enthusiastic committee.
