Bling in the Holidays
with
Stitcher’s Hideaway!

Monday & Tuesday - October 15-16, 2018
at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA

Featuring
Thea Dueck
of The Victoria Sampler


Thea Dueck of the Victoria Sampler has an international reputation for her exquisite sampler designs. She lives, designs and teaches out of her studio in Sidney, B.C. just north of Victoria. 

For Thea, creating designs and samplers that include many different stitches is so much more fun than making pictures from cross-stitches alone. She especially loves cutwork, both drawn-thread, and Hardanger, and uses them often, as she loves their effect together with other stitches. Thea also loves all colours, metallics, and beads.. and her intricate designs really showcase that!

Over the years, her love of needlework and the demand for her designs has led her to publish and distribute her Charts, Kits and Accessory packs. Her avid fans use her many designs for special, meaningful occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, holidays and birthdays or just for the joy of learning!  The combinations of the many different techniques Thea uses adds to the stitcher's pleasure and education.  Her unique vision gives today's stitcher access to timeless classic design, with step by step instructions to create heirloom quality embroideries for future generations.
