Coming Events

2024: Another year as we continue to build our character into a recognizable style, where modern meets traditional.  Expect the unexpected as we merge your styles to fit yesterdays  old into today’s new and remember we never lose sight of our roots.    

We continue to keep an emphasis on modernizing history in the 20th- century home but  try to preserve the unique character and beauty with our fabric and home goods choices. 

You will see  how we merge the reproduction fabrics and furnishings into the décor  creating a style that is easy and comfortable to live with.  It is a cleaner and more organized look I think you will find appealing.  

 

 


2024 “Spring Soiree” Open House

March 22 – 23rd

 We had the most wonderful Spring Soiree in 2023. For us it is getting to see so many old friends and welcoming many new.  Coming off of the winter months we honestly have missed seeing many of you. 

We have changed this date because Easter is March 31st this year.

    You will enjoy seeing all of our new spring décor that has come in from markets.   For our stitchers the linen supply is plentiful and you will see many new models introduced into the décor as we will be home from Needlework Market with lots of great new patterns, accessories and linens. Get ready to have an amazing time.

I hope you will choose to join us. Drum Roll Please!!!! 

Our guest for “Spring Soiree” is non other than Stacy Nash!

Stacy is hopeful this will be her opportunity to introduce you to her new “Red Houses Club”.  The first project should be ready for a preview and all of the New Nashville Needlework Market offerings can be seen too.  This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Samplers Not Forgotten

What an event we hosted, what a summer camp experience!  So many great minds meeting for the first time.   We are the lucky ones’ that can embrace and share our passion for handwork.

Our guest this year that came the farthest was from Australia and we also even had a guest join us from Alaska.   Students came from all coasts to this event. It is very humbling to think they chose this little shop on 133 Jefferson St. in our quaint little town in Spring Green Wisconsin.    I will always be grateful, it has been forty years coming and you all made it happen. Thank you so much. 

This also was the first time we had a large group of ladies join us that were from Wisconsin.  Fifteen to be exact.  Happily we all welcomed our first gent, Peter, to our gathering.  Peter came from Florida. 

I will show you some random pictures of the projects, designers, the SchoolRoom, Arthur’s ballroom where you can see the students hard at work.
