Tart Retreat in 2024

This post is solely about the retreat I am planning for May next year. It is only open to newsletter subscribers so if you are a blog subscriber only then pop over to the website home page and sign up for newsletters to be eligible.

I am repeating here the content sent as a recent newsletter, and there is a copy of the application form below (retreat-may-2024.docx) to download and complete, if you would like to participate.  It sets out the cost per attendee and the payment schedule. 

I may not be able to respond to individual enquiries between now and 20th September when applications close. I don't want it to be based on a 'first come first served' basis as not everyone has the access or inclination to be online every day. So all applications will be considered together, regardless of date received. 

If you are unable to save and complete the application form online, please print it off, fill it in and send me a photograph or scan of it. I cannot consider applications in any other style.

In the event that you need to cancel, fees will not be refundable unless I am able to find a suitable new participant to take your place.

OK, that's the serious stuff out of the way. I hope you love the idea of a few days' gentle stitching in lovely surroundings in early May and would like to join me at the farmhouse!

My block print samples on scraps of vintage/new cottons/linens, tidied and sewn together yesterday.
This will be my autumn travelling stitchery project, using some lush threads.
Early Sunday morning view over the garden wall.

A wee Saturday sewing day with this cloth I bought from @metaphorracha some considerable time ago. Based in Bangalore and with excellent eco credentials, it is a company with heart. I hope I can visit again one day.
🍁I gathered these a few days ago, feeling like autumn was just around the corner.
And here we are in toasty hot temperatures again…😎

The sun was slipping down over this harvested field as 🐾 and I took a gentle evening stroll. 
Such peace here. 
Such a horrifically unequal world.

Wednesday’s windowsill, with a little licence. This jolly pot is not mine but it’s providing excellent service cheering up a quiet corner in Perthshire! 
I’m sitting outside a yarn shop - can’t promise I’ll leave empty handed…🧶
