The Next Chapter For the workroom
Deep Breath. This is a big one.
I'm going to start with immense gratitude to everyone in our community. We've done so many great things together this past year! We moved twice and set up two very special locations - in Parkdale and Sprucedale. Since we moved into our cute Parkdale Studio on Cowan last September, we have hosted over two hundred and twenty workshops, including Ron Collins guest teaching in the Fall and the Spring, our annual Heart Crafted Maker's Market, a community fabric swap, twenty long arm appointments, four Sewing Dates, eleven Member Stitch Nights, and a very special baby shower. My heart is full and proud looking back on that list knowing all the wonderful things and connections that were made in less than a year.
Handmade Getaway in Sprucedale!
Attendees will spend the weekend sewing in our Historic General Store second floor studio. Bring one project or many to work on with access to all the space, tools and equipment you need. Whether you choose to work on patchwork, garments, accessories, or hand work - one on one guidance, advice and tutorials will be available to help you reach your making goals for the weekend. Pop down to the first floor retail space to purchase additional supplies at any time over the weekend.
