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.
