We were thrilled to have Dawn Bradford of Sheepish Designs teach for us again!

The teachers enjoy spending time with the stitchers as much as the stitchers enjoy spending time with the teachers!

The Garden Terrace classroom at the inn was especially lovely.

Sisters Marsha Worley and Elizabeth Newlin of Bent Creek.

As you can see from Elizabeth kneeling to talk with stitchers on the right while Marsha manned the overhead, personal contact with the teachers is a huge plus at A Stitcher's Retreat!

The Location

From the moment you walk into the Woodstock Inn, you know this is a great location for a retreat. The fireplace with a woodcarving over the mantle and a hooked rug alongside is the first thing you see when entering the building.

The Shop at A Stitcher's Retreat

As always, there was plenty of A Stitcher's Retreat merchandise, only some of which is pictured.

While Heart in Hand was not one of the teachers, product was available--and not all of it is pictured!

We also had items from The Trilogy, including a new kit which debuted at the retreat!

A picture of only part of Bent Creek's product. Bent Creek also debuted a new kit at the retreat! I am sure it goes without saying, but Sheepish Designs also had product available, including Dawn's lovely beeswax creations. Unfortunately, the photo did not come out well!

We also had items from Sisters & Best Friends and Twisted Threads!

Stitchers doing what they love to do at the retreat: shop!

The empty table in the center of the room was where teaching kits were displayed once they had been debuted to the classes.
