Registration is now open for Exploring Hand Stitching at Quilting by the Lake.
5 Days Monday – Friday, July 15-19, 2024
Rediscover the pleasure of pulling a threaded needle through layers of cloth. Hand stitching can be used to make marks, define texture and create a rich and visually interesting surface design in fiber artwork. We’ll use materials we already have, the textile “keepings” of everyday life, to explore the possibilities of sewing mindfully by hand. The goal of this experimental journey is to develop a vocabulary of stitches and make personal connections to the process of creating. And by slowing down and working by hand, we may find a new path to well-being along the way.
All QBL workshops begin on Monday and end on Friday. Workshops are from 8:30-4pm daily. Students check in to their dorms and move into classrooms on the Sunday before the workshop begins. There is a welcome dinner with a lecture Sunday night.
All Levels
I am delighted to be teaching again at Quilting By the Lake, and look forward to being with other needlepeople as we explore hand stitching together in a beautiful place. You can access information and registration at www.quiltingbythelake.com
