Inspired to Stitch…at the Silver Thimble

Welcome to my programme of regular and short workshops to inspire you to stitch in 2017 - if you have ideas for workshops you would like to do but don’t see in the programme, please let me know so I can include them. If you see a workshop you would like to attend but can’t make the date give me a call, there may be an alternative.

This is a rolling programme so keep coming back to see new ideas and also to see photographs as I complete the samples. Class fees are excluding materials unless otherwise stated.

21st, 28th / Regular workshops with Kath, these are ideal for bringing your own project along to, whether you are beginning something new or finishing something that you started earlier. Book one week at a time.
You can also work on a project from a book or kit that you may have bought at a show, shop or internet that you may need help with. Even if you have started a project with another tutor I am sure that between us we can get it finished.
