We were delighted to be back at The Stitching Festival 2024 21st - 24th March sponsored by Aurifil at the Islington Business Center. Back by popular demand, our community embroidery event hosted by Stitch-School, returns to the Stitch Festival. Visitors can add to the three-metre linen cloth stretched on the Stitch-School embroidery table which was started at last year’s event. Embroidery guidance will be provided by Stitch School tutors who will share the history and origins of embroidery stitches. Threads have been kindly donated by Aurifil, so you can immerse yourself in this mindful and creative project and enjoy some relaxing stitching.

The design of the cloth was designed and stitched at the last Stitch Festival 2023, a floral to celebrate Spring, growth and nature, the cloth was stitched over 5 days and gave visitors a welcome rest and a chance to meet other visitors learning and practicing stitches. The Aurifil Italian threads were superior in colour and quality and a joy to work with. We were so impressed by the embroidery worked by people of all levels but it was evident that there was some expertise too! With so many embroidery stitches explored it has become an amazing sampler showing a wealth of stitches. It has been continued, enjoyed and displayed at the Selvedge Fairs in Bath and Marylebone.
We look forward to seeing you in March! Melanie
