Stitch Lab, the formula for embroidery fun and success, debuted last weekend in Dublin, Ohio! What a blast, I’m so glad I attended. Inspirations consultant Ashley Jones led the 2-day hands-on event for 72 embroidery enthusiasts. Our host, Quilt Beginnings, was a delight – boy, do they know how to treat their customers.
I met so many old acquaintances and friended new ones. We stitched 6 unique projects and everyone learned something new. Even the ladies who told me they’ve been stitching since the first embroidery machines were available, learned some new tricks. That shouldn’t have been a surprise to me because every class or event I attend, I always learn something new!
Look at some of the fun we had. 
After all that stitching, Kathy Daum, Quilt Beginnings owner and customer cheerleader, donated all of the projects made in class to a local charity – a women’s shelter that helps countless women and children in the Columbus, OH area. We stitched items for home, mom, baby and pets.
But the best part, all attendees took home a kit to stitch at home on their own machine. I hope you’ll consider attending a Stitch Lab this year. I’m heading to several Stitch Lab events this fall, scattered all over the country. I’ll release the schedule soon and maybe you can join me at an event in your town.
If you prefer a mix of environments, I’d love to hear our thoughts. Would you take a moment to share your thoughts on classes/events?
Think embroidery is too ‘dense or stiff for t-shirts? Think again. You’ll see fabric-friendly designs that are extremely comfortable to wear.
