All are welcome to attend our Stitch Hui held this year held this year at Johnsonville Comminty Centre!
Bring along a project to work on or bring your tools and use one of our slow stitching packs. If you’d like to partcipate, bring along a piece of completed work to enter into the Diana Parkes award (check out the criteria below).
We will have traders selling beautiful unique threads, hand dyed fabrics, detailed patterns and fine tools. There will be tea, coffee and baked treats to enjoy all day and we will be opposite the Johnsonville Mall if you need to pop out and grab anything else. We will also have a huge raffle and prizes to be given out on the day!
