February Events Schedule

And more of what to expect in the future!

First and foremost, I wanted to thank all of you for all the excitement and congratulations about this Substack! I am so excited too! I only have a few things planned for the remainder of this month, but I wanted to tell you more about what I have planned going forward as well.

February 19th Stitch Clinic: Join a live zoom to get stitch help, a thread suggestion, talk through how to kit your canvases or chat about any other stitching problem or issue you might be having. I will be hosting these stitch clinics once a month (at least) going forward. Info on how to join is below.

February 28th Rachel Donley Love Letter Stitch Guide Drop: The winner of the giveaway will also be pulled! I will be sharing a mix of full stitch guides, thread lists for my favorite designers like What a Gem and Elizabeth Crane Schwartz, and key elements from canvases I stitched.

So what else can you look forward to? When I asked for feedback on what you all might want to see from this Substack, there was one overwhelming answer I heard again and again: How do you read a canvas? I wish this was something I could distill down to a few bullet points, but I think the best way to learn this is to watch it. Every month, I will host a live to walk you through how I would kit, or in some cases have, a canvas and why I chose certain threads and stitches.

I will also be doing regular “stitch roulettes” and other lives like going through my stash (and hopefully others), chatting through how to choose finishes, stitch tutorials and more. I cant wait to share more with you all!
