Inviting you to join this new workshop for a virtual stitch getaway that captures the nostalgia of Autumn. Picking apples for a pie, sketching a pretty farmhouse on the hill, collecting leaves to press at home, dressing up for Halloween and carving pumpkins. With fabric and thread, we will be making this 9 x 9” eight page book and decorated covers about autumn. It is the fourth book/workshop in this popular seasonal series. Each page is designed to be a stand alone collage so you have the alternative option and materials to create ten unique art quilts!
Open to all skill levels, the workshop is a perfect way to grow your stitch love with fabric, thread and the joy of handmade!

The Facebook Group
Optional- You’ll be invited to join a private Facebook Group where you can post your work, see what others are doing and generally be inspired by the supportive comments from other makers. It’s a lovely way to share and feel connected to the group. I will be there too. We’ve built a welcoming community of stitching friends there!
Zoom Meet-ups
Optional- We'll get together in small groups on Zoom to talk about your creation and to share it with other members. I'll show you how to modify the design for extra bonus projects to make the best use of your materials and creativity.
“I love creating these stitch books for so many reasons … the videos Charlotte provides and her reassuring guidance are so helpful; the stitching itself is so satisfying and fun; and the end product always makes me smile.”
— Joan
“I have all of Charlotte's other seasonal slow stitch books and I am so excited to add "Autumn" to complete my collection! I love that Charlotte gives us step by step videos for putting the pages together but also leaves lots and lots of creative space for us to add our own memories and personal touches. The kits are so beautiful ..... every time I have gotten mine, it has been like opening an early Christmas present!”
