It was a great pleasure to have my friend of 20+ y It was a great pleasure to have my friend of 20+ years, Mimi Kirchner, teach at this year's Well Crafted Sonoma creative retreat. Our featured project was her much-loved Tiny World Workshop. 🪡🌍🩵

In the long tradition of old-school "make-do" crafts – these were created from fabric scraps, vintage vessels, and in our case – lots of beautiful @benziedesign felt. While many of us are continuing to finesse our vignettes, this is a little snapshot of the brilliant little village our group created. ✨🏡✨ #WellCraftedSonoma
Last Tuesday morning, we kicked off Well Crafted S Last Tuesday morning, we kicked off Well Crafted Sonoma with a creative exercise in simply beginning. ✨🪡📸

Each participant received a randomly selected black-and-white vintage photograph mounted on watercolor paper, along with a collection of simple, vintage-inspired cross-stitch patterns. Choosing just one color of floss, they positioned a pattern, punched the holes, and began to stitch.

No overthinking. No pressure to imbue the work with meaning. Just a simple, tactile invitation to make something - and to begin stitching together.
The results? Pretty spectacular. All the pieces pictured were created by participants. #WellCraftedSonoma
Today concluded my second annual Well Crafted Sono Today concluded my second annual Well Crafted Sonoma creative retreat. I have SO many pictures to post of our adventures - but today as we rest at the end of a happy packed week - I would be remiss if I didn't mark the day by posting my gratitude for this brilliant group that gathered from around the country with their generous spirits, kindness and curiosity. Thanks upon thanks upon thanks - and safe travels home. 🥰 #wellcraftedsonoma

I'm excited to invite you to a workshop that combi I'm excited to invite you to a workshop that combines two things I love: photography and hand embroidery.
🪡✨📸
Using stunning Sonoma County images by photographer Emma Kruch custom printed on fabric (from Wineland, Chef Charlie Palmer's new book celebrating Wine Country 💛) I'll guide you through simple embroidery techniques to add color, texture, and unexpected details directly onto printed photographs.

Whether you've been stitching for years or are picking up a needle for the very first time, this workshop is designed to be welcoming, creative, and inspiring. Together, we'll explore how a few simple stitches can transform a beautiful photograph into a truly personal work of art.
I hope you'll join me for a morning of making, conversation, and creativity at Appellation Healdsburg.

For years, I've explored ways to embellish vintage For years, I've explored ways to embellish vintage black-and-white photographs with embroidery. This month, however, things are getting colorful! I'm excited to do a special edition workshop utilizing the beautiful photography of @emmakcreative found in the new book Wineland by @chefcharliepalmer and @mattvillano (out June 16 from Artisan Books).

A sweet selection of Emma's photographs are being custom printed on fabric and headed our way. Join us at @appellation_healdsburg on Saturday, June 27 for this unique workshop – paired with wine and delicious bites. Follow the link in my profile to learn more and reserve your seat. 📸🪡
