A Day of Finishing at Deer Stone Lodge

Round & Irregular Ornament Finishing Experience

Thursday, October 8, 2026
9:30 AM–5:30 PM

Deer Stone Lodge
Monroe, North Carolina

$230

Spend the day immersed in finishing, creativity, and community at beautiful Deer Stone Lodge.

This full-day workshop combines Round Ornament Finishing in the morning with Irregular Ornament Finishing in the afternoon, giving you the opportunity to learn two of my most popular finishing techniques in a single day.

Between sessions, enjoy a relaxed lunch break while browsing a carefully curated pop-up of kitted canvases from some of my favorite local needlepoint shops. After the afternoon workshop, you're invited to stay for Open Stitch & Community Time, giving everyone a chance to relax, stitch, ask questions, and enjoy time together before heading home.

Whether you're looking to build confidence in your finishing skills or simply spend the day with fellow stitchers, this workshop is designed to be more than just a class—it's a day dedicated to creativity, learning, and community.
