Stitching Society

We're really excited to offer a new monthly club...this one is a stitchery group starting in October (Monday the 21st). The program is designed by Under the Garden Moon, and it has a ton of awesome features!

The group will meet for two hours (from 10 am to noon) on the third Monday of every month for a year.  Each meeting will include: demonstrations and tips on project construction and decorative stitches, a stitching-related history lesson, and of course, great social time and maybe even some treats of the edible variety!


As part of the 12-month class fee of $160, every month you'll receive: 15 wool applique motifs, embellishing stitch guides, a yummy recipe, and a small project pattern featuring a hexagon applique. You'll also receive two acrylic hexagon templates during the program.
The program offers lots of flexibility to utilize motifs of your choice...make one of each or pick your favorites! Work throughout the month creating hexagons to combine into a larger quilt, in addition to the monthly small projects.  Or, pick and choose which projects/quilt size you want to make.  Work on a background fabric of your choice: wool, our new hand dyed flannel, or even cotton...choose whatever suits your taste and stitching style.   Motifs are best stitched in wool due to their size...but that depends on your expertise and vision too! There is a big range of motif styles – something for everyone and embellishing the appliques with stitches, trim and buttons is a great way to personalize the designs even more.

If you haven't been in lately, you should come visit...we've moved a few things around to make room for all sorts of wool related goodies (fat quarters, wool pennies, even wool charms!) - not to mention lovely new hand dyed flannel! There's even more fun stuff coming up soon...so it'll be even more fun to select your favorites for these projects.


Please contact us if you have questions or would like to sign up! We are considering an alternate day/time for those who prefer evenings or weekends, so please let us know if that is your preference!

Happy Stitching!
