Stitcher’s Hideaway Button Box Retreat

Monday & Tuesday, July 15-16, 2019
at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA

Featuring

Dawn Fisher

 of Morning Glory Needlework and her
Grandma’s Button Box project

Inspired by her own grandmother’s collection of buttons, Dawn Fisher will be teaching how to create our own button box!  

Button BoxThe retreat will be held at The Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge, MA where lodging is available in the original Publick House Inn, Chamberlain House and their Country Lodges.  Built in 1771, the Publick House maintains its 18th century ambiance while providing 21st century comforts.  Our meals will all be provided by the Publick House, and I can tell you that they are DELICIOUS!

We will be having an Optional Stitching Exchange!  Those who wish to participate must hand-stitch a finished object inspired by buttons!  It could be finished as a needlebook, ornament, pin cushion, fob, biscornu, framed piece, whatever! Bring your gift-wrapped finished hand-stitched object to the retreat and then participants will draw numbers and pick out a gift in numerical order.  It’s loads of fun!

We’ll also have a Show ‘n Tell time where we can show off our stitching or other crafts.  It’s always inspirational!   Opportunities to enhance your stash will be provided by The World in Stitches shop.  Dawn will

The Publick House is located just 1 mile from Old Sturbridge Village -- a great place to spend a day before or after the retreat during our glorious New England fall.  If you haven’t experience fall here yet, well, you simply must!! 

While you’re in the area, you might also be interested in checking out the Brimfield Antique Show, which takes place just before the retreat on July 9-14, 2019.

Registration is officially opened for this retreat!   Follow the links below for all the details.
