Gingerbread Christmas
Retreat
with
Thea Dueck
of Victoria Sampler
Monday & Tuesday, October 19-20, 2015
at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA
 I am beyond thrilled to have Thea teach for us again -- and especially excited about the retreat project because her Gingerbread Retreat Cottage was inspired by my own little seasonal cottage! She did a fantastic job of capturing it in gingerbread!
This is Thea Dueck’s eighth addition to her very popular Gingerbread Village series -- and lucky us! We have the opportunity to learn from the designer herself!! We’ll have 2 fun-filled days and nights of stitching, stash enhancing, enjoying wonderful food, door prizes, gift bags, surprises and much more!! We are going to have a BLAST!!!
The retreat will be held at The Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge, MA and lodging is available both in the Inn and in 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!
The retreat will have a Christmas theme and so we will be having an Optional Christmas-theme Stitching Exchange! Those who wish to participate must hand-stitch a finished object having something to do with Christmas. 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!
Maeann & Gary of BushMountain Stitchery & Framing will set up shop at the retreat for our stash enhancement pleasure and they bring an amazing selection! Among hundreds of other items, they offer increasingly popular European designs. You’ll be able to contact them prior to the retreat with any special requests so that they can have them on hand for you at the retreat. Woo-hoo!!
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!!
Registration is officially opened for this retreat! Follow the links below for all the details.
See you there!
