Sale!

Last Week!

Sale ends February 28th!  Get your supplies now while prices are low.

Due to the rapid slide of the Canadian dollar, we will be forced to raise many of our prices starting in March.  This is the best time to buy!  Not only are the old prices still in effect, but everything (except brand-new stock) is on sale!

Retreat News

May 3rd and 4th, 2015

We've decided on the venue and projects, and have set our prices.  Accommodation prices will be posted as soon as possible.

The Bethlehem Retreat Centre was fully booked, so the Retreat will be held in our traditional location, the Cambridge Room at the Dorchester Hotel.  This room is spacious and well lit, and has plenty of electrical outlets for the lights we all seem to need even when the lighting is great.

We have talked Alison into teaching two projects:  Rambling Clematis and Window of the Blue Dragonflies.  It was a very close call, with four projects competing for top place, but we didn't think it would be fair to Alison to teach four projects concurrently!  Click on the project names or the images below to see more details on the project.

Price of the workshop includes instruction for both days, full kit, goodie bags and door prizes.  The price may be adjusted (lowered) if enough people sign up.  Pricing is as follows:

  • Rambling Clematis:                       $365.00
  • Window of the Blue Dragonflies    $380.00
Sign up for Rambling Clematis
Sign up for Window of the Blue Dragonflies

Call or email if you need more information - contact information is at the bottom of this email.
