sharing the love of needlework through shows, classes and seminars
Special Events
Thrilling classes, events, and lectures for 2008
- We start out with our preview night on Wednesday evening with some of our teachers bringing their class projects for you to preview in both NH and KY.
- Our lectures feature Aimee Newell, a historian and museum curator. Aimee gives an illustrated talk showing examples of samplers and exploring the life stories of their makers. Far from a practical household item or a school lesson, samplers made by older women serve more sentimental functions. This needlework can be considered biographical; it tells a life story, demonstrates pride or serves as a memorial to the maker. Come and learn from these "threads of time."
- We know that all of you have favorite pieces of needlework that you are very proud of. Show and Share is going to be a special time for you to show one or two of your prized treasures. Bring them to our selected location and everyone will have a wee bit of time to "brag" or share a memory.
- Stroll the Show Floor...Before it Opens! You will have the opportunity to stroll the entire needlework marketplace with Susan Greening Davis as your guide.
- Our Round Robin classes are always one of the most popular classes of the weekend and will run in the same format as last year.
- The Big Evening Event is the high point of the weekend! Our hostess, Susan Greening Davis, has another fun-filled night for you. She has created a special keepsake of needlework that you will love.
