Welcome to Phillipa's festive stitching project, a fabulous unicorn Christmas Stocking, which you might have found out about on our Cosy Crewel Work Corner Videos on YouTube.
During this lockdown period, we want everyone in our community to find peace and calm in stitching a beautiful new design, so we are making it available to download and share for free. In the next series of videos, Phillipa will be showing you how to complete this design, from choosing your colours, transferring your design, mounting your frame, stitching the stocking, and finally blocking and finishing.
We, like you, are extremely concerned about the developing and ever-changing news concerning the Coronavirus pandemic. The UK Government has now taken further and more aggressive steps reduce the spread of the virus by insisting that people must stay at home and stop all but essential travel.
The safety of our staff is of utmost importance to us. We are therefore all now dispersed to our various homes to carry out what work we can from there. Phillipa and Richard are fulfilling orders with the backup of everyone working remotely.
We have postponed our up coming July 4 Nations Tour, which has been rescheduled to September 2021 or April 2022. All other future events are unaffected at this time and (see more recent post separately about the Lady Anne's Festival).
We are digging deep here in Appleby and turning to ideas and projects we didn't have time for before. We are taking stock and using this time to rest, take care of ourselves, and stitch more. We are going to post as much free video content as we can over the next few weeks and months, and hope to encourage you take the opportunity to stitch along with us. Time to dig out that unfinished project and put some stitches in. We will be here to interact and answer any questions.
Phillipa is recording videos from her home on most days and is posting them to Facebook and through our newsletter. She invites you to take refuge in the rhythm and peace needlework offers us. You can also access these videos on the How To section of our Website.
