The Travel Stitch Journal

A week in thread in the South of France · 3–9 May 2027

Join me for a week at a private château in the Lot Valley, where we’ll make a travel journal out of fabric and thread and fill it with the places and memories of our days: stitched lettering, the medieval lanes of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie and the market stalls of Cahors, sketched in thread.

Beginners are warmly welcome. Every stitch is taught from the very first step.
