One of the most inspiring crafting events is quickly approaching, and I want you to meet me there! Join Handmade Charlotte April 10–13 at the Makerie, a cozy retreat that celebrates the handmade with workshops, yoga, hiking, and delicious food.

We’re gathering at the Colorado Chautauqua in beautiful Bolder. I’ll be there to teach a super cool giant floor pillow workshop; illustrator Helen Dardik will help you to design a repeat pattern; and Kristin FitzGerrell will show you how to recreate your kiddos artwork in plywood. That’s just a taste—a family of 7 teachers will lead hands-on classes on stitching, crocheting, designing, stenciling, and more!

Whether you’ve been crafting for years and are looking to connect with the community or a beginner ready to learn new skills, this is the retreat for you. Head over to the Makerie to register your spot, and I’ll see you there!
