I started stitch gatherings because I wanted the camaraderie of fellow stitchers: the banter, the exchange of ideas, the shared excitement of watching someone’s project come to fruition. The group is made up of members who relish the feel of a needle and thread making its way through cloth. We are fellow stitchers who are not interested in following a pattern or making derivative work, but who are creating out of our own need to make something individual and personal. We rely on tradition and add a modern sensibility to the work. All those who love to stitch creatively are welcome; experienced and inexperienced. We will learn together, collaborate and share what we make with others. And that is stitch gatherings.
