About this Event
Slow down, thread your needle, and discover the gentle rhythm of hand embroidery. This beginner-friendly retreat welcomes stitchers of all levels who want to learn timeless techniques in a relaxed, supportive setting. You’ll explore basic stitches, experiment with color and texture, and create small keepsake pieces that celebrate your newfound skills. Come for the creativity—stay for the laughter, friendship, and joy of making something beautiful by hand.
Workshop: The kit included in this retreat makes getting started with embroidery a breeze. The Learn Embroidery Stitch by Stitch kit includes everything, and we mean everything, you need to begin your embroidery journey. Learn 11 stitches and put them to use with 9 ready-to-go embroidery Peel and Stitch designs. Grab yours today and discover your talent for embroidery.
