Calendar and Classes from Stitches by the Bay

Class Schedule and Calendar

Notes from Colleen

July is another special month at Stitches by the Bay, as we welcome a fantastic trunk show from Artists Collection. This wonderful selection of canvases will be on display the entire month in our gallery. Stop in and have a look!

July is also a special month in our community, marking the return of the Feast of Lanterns, an historical annual event for Pacific Grove, and a particular milestone for our daughter, Caitlin, who is this year's Queen Topaz. We are so very proud of her and her achievements!

In celebration of the event, we are offering a 15% discount on all Oriental-themed canvases during the month of July!

Do you need a quick get-away this summer? Our StitchAway Retreats are filling up fast, so book yours while there is still time!

Things are changing all the time, so stop by often and let us show you what's new!

SPECIAL CLASSES and EVENTS

Octopus Pudgie Class
coming this Fall!

The success of last year's Spooky Club has inspired us to feature yet another of Patti Mann's wonderfully whimsical Pudgie animals in a series of workshops. Beginning in September, Stitches by the Bay will host monthly classes featuring different panels from the Pudgie Octopus, a delightful 3-dimensional design. Each class fee of $70 includes canvas, materials and instruction, and participants get the additional advantage of a 10% discount on fabrication once the stitching is complete!

Give us a call to make your reservation!

CLASS KITS ARE AVAILABLE

Witchy Woman Stockings

Have you seen a class that we offered that you have missed? We often have class kits available after the class is over. Right now we have kits from the Witchy Woman Workshop. Call us for the details!

Join us soon for one of our fun and informative workshops!

These delightful witch hats from Melissa Shirley Designs were one of our previous projects, and just a sample of the creative needle art instruction we offer at Stitches by the Bay.

Pre-registration for these classes is necessary and a class fee is required at the time of registration. Should cancellation be necessary, a refund can only be given if a replacement student can be found. The number of participants in a workshop is limited to six allowing for very personalized instruction. Workshops are scheduled for three hours, but should enrollment be less than six students, the number of class hours may be shortened. Large personal sacks of threads can no longer be accommodated. Students are encouraged to pre-select project threads from their personal stash prior to class or better yet, allow June to make creative choices from Stitches by the Bay's outstanding thread collection during the workshop. This will enhance the creative process for all.
