Trick or Treat
with Stitcher’s Hideaway!

Monday & Tuesday - October 23-24, 2023
at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA

Featuring Thea Dueck of The Victoria Sampler
 

Bring back those fond childhood memories of  trick or treating with Thea Dueck’s new Spooky Treats Drum Pincushion designed for this fun Halloween retreat!! 

“Trick or treat, Trick or treat, Give us something good to eat!” 

SpookyTreats-DrumPincushion1

Shown above is the side design of  Drum Pincushion

We will be working on the design during class which includes instruction from Thea for specialty stitches. Thea will go over the finishing instructions for making  this adorable pincushion drum.  More details will be included in the Project description page.

In addition to two wonderful days of classes with Thea and stash enhancement opportunities provided by The World in Stitches, we’ll also have evening of fun! There will be Show ‘n Tell -- a time when we can show off our stitching or other crafts, fabulous door prizes and an optional Spooky-themed Stitching Exchange!  Those who wish to participate in the exchange must hand-stitch and finish an object having something to do with Halloween.  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 are so excited to have Thea Dueck of Victoria Sampler come out of semi-retirement to teach for Stitchers Hideaway once again! Don’t miss this opportunity!

Attendees might like to plan on staying an extra day to have time to explore Old Sturbridge Village, admire New England foliage, and maybe even take in a play at the Stageloft.

The retreat will be held at The Publick House Historic Inn and lodging is available there as well.  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!

Randi Nelson of the The World in Stitches will set up shop at the retreat for our stash enhancement pleasure!  YAY!
