Hey there, welcome back! Many of you have been asking for it and after much anticipation, I’m super excited to finally be able to share the tentative 2023 event schedule for The Gathering and Primitive Gatherings with you (this is pretty much it but there might still be a tweak or two, which I will announce as they come)! As warmer weather does its best to push winter out of our lives for another year, we have been busy like bees brainstorming and planning relaxing retreats, educational classes and clubs, and other fun events that you’re not going to want to miss!
Whether you’re looking for a fun group to sew with once a week just for giggles, a club to attend on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, a full retreat, or just a one-time class, we have a nice selection of fun activities planned to fit your schedule… and your taste! Groups like Wool Club, Hexi Club, Bernina Embroidery Club, Cross Stitch Club, Featherweight Club, and more, typically meet one to two times monthly at The Gathering. Bring your works in progress or a project you’d like to start… Get help from your fellow stitchers while meeting new people and making new friends! We have clubs for all sorts of things with new ones starting every year. Have an idea for one you’d like to be in? Let me know in the comments! I’m always curious to know what people are currently into and want to see more of.
If you’re not able to make a monthly commitment to a designated club but you’d like to attend a one-day work shop or multi-day retreat, we’ve got you covered! We are also offering an assortment of upcoming educational classes this spring including several by Bernina featuring tips and tricks on how to use your serger, how to embroider, longarm quilting, and more! We also hope to have another session of Gloria’s basket making class along with several other classes geared toward both beginning and intermediate stitchers and quilters alike!
Not really into the group class thing but still like to be sewcial with other stitchers? Come to Sit & Stitch! Bring your projects and set up shop for the day surrounded by likeminded, creative people all doing the same! Enjoy excellent lighting, multiple steam stations, and large spacious sewing tables equipped with electrical outlets. Plus – we feed you! All for only 25 bucks a session or $40 for all day (both AM & PM sessions are not always offered each week – please see the schedule for when AM vs. PM, or both sessions are available). Bring a friend or come alone and make new ones. It’s always a stitch at Sit & Stitch!
