Who is joining me Saturday for some stitching! A slow down before the September long weekend!
I have 3 colour palettes, you pick the colours you would like, I will show you the rest!

Let's hand stitch! No experience required.

Supplies included to make a 4 patch coaster! We are going to add a bit of needle turn work with simple shapes on top..only if you want.

Aug 29, Saturday, 11:30 to 4:00. At The Match Factory, 50 Armstrong St. N, New Liskeard On. Would you consider bringing a non-perishable food item or hygiene product in support of Cam's Walk for Overdose Awareness. It happens in Haileybury on Carter Blvd on the same day. It is an important part of my family's history. I physically cannot join the walk, but I can possibly support the food bank initiative with your help.

$50, includes tax, supplies and use of tools. Just bring your interest for a day of hand stitching! Who knows...it could lead you to the world of advanced quilting!

Reserve your spot, connect with me at the shop!

Hi guys! Well, we are rolling into Sunday evening.
The Match Factory is having a couple of events that may interest you...
Saturday, August 29, we will do some hand stitching! Such a variety of stitching styles..but lets just introduce something simple to start. 4 patch coaster, all by hand!
Sept 12 and 13, our annual Fibre Retreat! My favourite! Happens once a year, but a lifetime of memories. Felting, Filet crochet, spinning workshops included.
Although The Match Factory doesn't host it, The New Liskeard Fall Fair will round up the summer with amazing entries submitted by you! Can't wait for that either!! Books and tags available at the store.
Let me know what holds your interests in the comments!

First you need some determination to go through with said plan...then a distraction.

Its not only the process, but what you can make in the end!
