It’s Fine-ally Finished!
Woo-hoo!!! Jackie is coming back to teach for us at the Sturbridge 2008 retreat! She has an adorable project for us -- Buttons a Bounty. As soon as I saw it, I begged her to teach it. It’s adorable!!
Jackie is an excellent instructor, with a warm sense of humor. Her taste is impeccable, and the fibers and fabrics used in her projects are luxurious. She won our hearts with her sweet manner and delightful accent when she taught in Sturbridge in 2005. We are so fortunate to have her teach for us again!
The retreat will be held at The Publick House Historic Inn, with lodging right next door at the Public House Country Motor Lodge. Built in 1771, the Publick House maintains its 18th century ambiance while providing 21st century comforts. The Publick House is located just 1 mile from Old Sturbridge Village. Our meals will all be provided by the Publick House, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that they are DELICIOUS!
Jean Contino, Coordinator of Crafts and Households, and Rebecca Nourse, Collections Manager at Old Sturbridge Village will present “Out of the Woods: Textile Designs Inspired by Nature,” a talk about artifacts from the Village collection which feature design elements inspired by nature. Examples of sewing tools, stencils, factory printed fabrics, quilts, stuffed work, and embroidery will be shown!
Chris & Pam from Chris’s Collection will be on hand for our stash-enhancement needs. Attendees may email the shop about any particular items they would like brought to the retreat for purchase.

See you there!
