Thoughtful mending & slow stitching calms the mind and nervous system making everything feel that little bit calmer. Just what we need in a heatwave…. Even Pebble the dog gets in on the mending.

Count down…. Less than a month and we are back working in the barn. It’s pretty chilly over winter and heaters, hot water bottles and multiple layers only last so long. So after our winter retreat we will be back in our creative space, can’t wait to start making in there again with our studio buddy .
The new seasons workshops are linked in our bio and the dates for new patchwork and kantha course will be up later today x 🧵🪡
