Spring Retreat

On Friday, April 3, 2020, we'll gather in Tucson, Arizona for a weekend retreat ~ our very own Stitching Escape.  The fee for our Spring Retreat includes hotel room for 2 nights based on double occupancy and meals throughout the weekend. Single occupancy is available at an additional charge.  Beginning at 9AM on April 3rd we'll have 24 hour private access to our Stitching Room, the Ironwood Ballroom.

National Teacher JILL RIGOLI is joining us by popular demand.  Jill is an avid leader in needlepoint.  She introduced Laurel Burch designs to needlepointers through Danji Designs.  Jill prepares a custom Stitch Guide for your chosen canvas.  Threads recommended by Jill will be available for purchase.

A STITCHING ESCAPE
A Weekend for Stitching and Friendship

Two times a year, women of all ages, from all walks of life and from all parts of the country gather together for 3 days of stitching, classes, dining and laughing. "A Stitching Escape" is a 3-day stitching retreat we hold in both the spring and fall.  Upon arrival at our Retreat, we immediately start stitching and continue throughout the weekend.  We share our love of stitching and quickly connect over our shared needlework passion.  Before we know it, it is Sunday afternoon and we are saying goodbye and planning for our next Retreat.

We have a dedicated stitching room, the Ironwood Ballroom, where each stitcher has ample space to keep stitching projects and our must-have accessories close at hand.   We never have to put our stitching away the entire weekend! Participate in Jill's Canvas Embellishment class or bring your selected projects of choice to stitch.

You'll love our Old Town Needlework Retreat Boutique which always features a Trunk Show from one of our favorite designers as well as new and fabulous designs and accessories recently released to the needlework community. 

Our optional Retreat Project is Canvas Embellishment with Jill Rigoli.  For those who would like a custom Stitch Guide from Jill and time with her throughout the weekend, please let us know.  We will need to have your canvas of choice no later than January 15, 2020.

We hope you'll  join us to celebrate our love for needlework in a relaxing and restful environment.  We're looking forward to sharing many laughs and developing long lasting friendships.  A group of amazing and fun ladies await.
