Fall 2024 Retreat - Nov 1 -3

$300.00

Please join us for a mini retreat! 

Bring your canvas and stitching accoutrements to the shop for help with canvas embellishments, stitch choices, stitch instructions and events exploring Charlottesville. 

Instructor is Cynthia Thomas, the Needle Artisan.  Cynthia is a national teacher who is a regular at ANG and EGA seminars.  Her knowledge of stitches and stitch techniques is impressive.  Her stitch guides sell out quickly, as they are easy to read, updated on a wide variety of designers and wonderful for all sorts of thread choices.

Special gifts to attendees include a needleminder and canvases exclusive to the shop from local designers Cabell Stitchery and Jeni Sandberg designs.
