Sorry, we are no longer offering our Retreats in Victoria.   

Our Last VSRetreat
in Victoria, B.C. Canada
was on
April 28 to May 1, 2011
However, Thea will be teaching for other organizations over the next few years. Please check TEACHING on our website to register for the venue where she will be teaching next!

    
Stitching with Thea, Lisa and Cathy.

Thea has a warm and comfortable teaching style, and enjoys her students immensely. She encourages everyone to try new things and to relax while learning! Cathy Jean is our talented folk-art cross stitch designer, and will also join us now and then. Lisa has taught several finishing workshops over the years, and is our resident finishing guru. She will give you some easy finishing hints for this beautiful project... We just know you'll have a wonderful time in Victoria next Spring.. just come and smell the flowers, and follow the birds to Victoria!
