Well, yesterday was a lovely flurry of emails and we filled our available spot for Well Crafted Sonoma. However, in an unexpected turn of events – we now have a new available spot. Second golden ticket! While we will miss our dear friend, who is now unable to join us – it opens the opportunity for someone new to complete our group in September. You'll find all of the retreat details at robert-mahar.com/sonoma, and if you have questions or think you would like to join us – please email me directly at maharcraft@gmail.com.

Well Crafted Sonoma
A creative retreat in the heart of California wine country.
September 15-19

Re: this image! I've been experimenting with a new series of imagery for the retreat, playing with vintage photographs and autumnal themes – with the anticipation of being able to overdye the fabric and embellish it with embroidery. More to come!

Last fall, I crossed my fingers, took a deep breath, and opened registration for a dream project of mine—a creative retreat in my new hometown—and friends, it sold out in two days. It’s been the happiest focus of the past several months, curating programs and projects for a week of handcraft and camaraderie.

And now, in just under two months, we’ll be gathering at a little 1940s ranch tucked between rolling golden hills and vineyards to stitch and dye and craft and laugh and eat and drink… and I can’t wait. 🎉

So, today feels a little like a golden ticket day—because one spot has just opened up. ✨

If you think you might like to join us September 15–19 here in Sonoma, CA, I invite you to read all about the event at robert-mahar.com/sonoma. And if you’re interested, send me an email at maharcraft@gmail.com.

It’s genuinely a lovely group we’ve assembled, and welcoming one more will round it out perfectly. ❤️

Love wins. It always has. It always will.

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court affirmed what so many of us knew deep in our hearts: love is love, and it deserves to be fully respected and protected under the law.

This year, I celebrated my first anniversary of marriage to my husband, George, and today, I reflect with deep gratitude on the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges.

Here’s to every couple who can now say "I do" and to everyone living more fully in their truth. We celebrate you!

[UPDATE: Friends, I am unfortunately, under the weather 🤧, and as a result, we are canceling this workshop – with the hope of rescheduling soon. 🤞My sincerest apologies and thanks for your understanding!❤️]

Join me this weekend for a one-of-a-kind embroidery workshop where we’ll transforn a vintage 1945 fabric map into a hand stitched love letter to Sonoma County. Open to adventurous beginners and experienced embroiderers, we'll explore the many ways you can document your wine country adventures with a needle and floss.

We'll gather on Saturday, June 7, at @bacchuslanding in Healdsburg, as part of the Crafted at @appellationhotels program, co-hosted by @thesettingwines, with delicious bites from the team of @chefcharliepalmer. A delightful day to slow down, savor, and stitch.

Pack your needle and floss—we’re going on an embroidered adventure! 🧳🪡 Join me for a workshop where we’ll stitch our way across a vintage 1945 map of Sonoma County, originally hand-drawn by Santa Rosa artist Dan Bonfigli and lovingly restored and updated for fabric. Whether you’re hoping to document a road trip, highlight local landmarks, or stitch connections between loved ones, I’ll walk you through embroidery basics and creative ways to make this map uniquely your own. (Swipe left to see samples from past embroidered map workshops!)

We’ll be gathering on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at @bacchuslanding in Healdsburg. It’s all part of the Crafted at @appellationhotels program, co-hosted by @thesettingwines, with delicious bites from the team of @chefcharliepalmer (yes, please!) 🎉
