The 21st year of “A Gathering of Embroiderers” presents stitching events
for all level of embroiderers. The Williamsburg Hospitality House in
Williamsburg, Virginia is our home, away from home, all classes and
lectures are held in this one hotel. The hotel has under ground parking,
an excellent restaurant, and only three blocks from Colonial
Williamsburg, great shops and lots of places to enjoy a meal.
"A Gathering of Embroiderers" is a non-profit event designed to give the
more advanced stitcher the opportunity to study in a relaxed setting
,exchange ideas, and our love of needlework. Any level stitcher is
welcome to come and expand their knowledge of the many techniques
offered. We have provided many donations to museums all over the
country. Go to “About Us” to see what has been accomplished in the past twenty years.
The Gathering ,with Jeannine offers guest teachers that are among the
very best in the needlework world and will offer many projects,
including their own designs and 17th and 18th century reproductions.
A Boutique, Book store and more is provided, offering items not found
in your needlework shops. A stitcher’s retreat is also among the many
offerings. This allows you to work on your own projects and still enjoy
the companionship , meet with friends, make new friends. In the evening,
a well lighted stitching room is provided for all the attendees to come
together and stitch and chat and share what they are doing.
I hope this overview of " A Gathering of Embroiderers" will encourage
you to view the classes and the lectures arranged and join us in 2013
Happy Stitch’N,
Jeannine Koons
