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!

Hooray, nearly done skeining up from my recent indigo session.

❤️Need a few close shades for a project? 

🧡Looking for colour inspiration?

💛Want to build your thread palette without buying to excess?

💚These wee gems will help. I select shades, measure, cut, twist and label them. These mini collections of stranded embroidery cottons contain 2 metres of each of six shades. If you’re a single strand stitcher like me, that’s 144 half metre lengths! 

Stranded Selections - seventeen of them - are on the Threads shelf now!

Wednesday (not a) windowsill
Found a blackbird eggshell in the garden yesterday which sparked this wee gathering of strawberry flowers and bluebells.
