Events

I have been fortunate enough to get to attend a number of markets, classes, and retreats all over the country. Sometimes I go as “designer”, sometimes I go as “teacher”…but I always go as just me! It has been fun meeting stitchers – especially when I meet one of my Facebook & Instagram friends! I hope to see you soon!

Enjoy the Stitch,
Cathy

I love this part of my job! We were in Ames, IA f I love this part of my job!

We were in Ames, IA for a few days (Special Olympics Summer Games on the IA State campus). On the way home, we stopped at Prairie Rose Needleworks to visit Amanda! She opened her shop a year ago & it was wonderful to see it all in person!!

- love her storefront - great parking with restaurants close by
- I took home several of those nurge hoops
- a great selection of charts and threads
- awesome embroidery kits with books on Sashiko & Kogin
- I spy binders of my designs (I couldn’t help it 🤣)
- there we are…I’m fresh off the tennis court so not loving my hairdo!

It was great to see her again after Nashville Market. Check the shop out if you’re in the area or see her website!

Feeling like a patriotic pop of color? Liberty P Feeling like a patriotic pop of color? 

Liberty Pennies is filled with red, white & blue and stitches up quickly. Finished on our 4 3/8 rounds, this folk vignette can stay on display all summer long (mine will stay up probably until the pumpkins come out 🤣).

Liberty Pennies is available at your local and online shop as well as my website (hard copy & PDF). 4 3/8 rounds are available on our website too.

Comfort stitching. That’s exactly how I would de Comfort stitching. That’s exactly how I would describe A Homestead Gathering. 4 projects in 1 chart, a folksy color palette & classic design. I love the patriotic bee skep this time of year 🇺🇸
