Sue Spargo and Stitch

Creative juices were flowing as I was surrounded by imagination and inspiration, at the recent Sue Spargo workshop at Stitch.  As I have posted before Stitch is truly a sanctuary for quilters and knitters.  Jocelyn has curated a magnificent collection of fabrics and yarns.  And beyond the goods for sale, she provides visitors to her shop with displays to entice and dream about once you have left.

 

 

 

 

You have too look carefully or you may miss something delightful!

 

 

 

While admiring this wooden bowl displaying indian fabric printing blocks,  I looked up to find among the leaves of the wreath under the protective gaze of the animals, the sweetest little Noah’s Ark scene … in a matchbox!

 

 

 

 

Looking around it is clear Jocelyn has a fondness for Ark scenes.

 

 

 

 

Joceyln carries the pattern that she made this sweet set from.

 

 

Stitch is in the delightful historic small town of Jordan in the Niagara Wine Region.

 

 

 

 

The main street has some wonderful shops.  The OnTheTwenty Restaurant overlooks the beautiful, forested Twenty Valley.

 

 

 

 

And it has some beautiful Old Ontario Homes.

 

 

 

 

This is a little bit of what I was up to in Sue’s class!  She was teaching from her new book Creative Stitches.  It is very addictive.

 

 

 

I will be back next week with more!

 

Have a great week

&

Happy Stitching!

    I saw something of hers some time back and phoned her with quesitons about it. She was a delight and I ordered the pattern for the sweetest pincushion. I received it right away. Even for those who can’t visit her lovely shop, you can still enjoy her things. 🙂

    It was wonderful to meet you and so many others during our enchanting time at Stitch! I was so inspired by Sue and the talent around me at our harvest table – thank you!

      It was such a pleasure to meet you Joy! Can hardly wait to keep moving on my piece.

  3. What a beautiful and inspiring shop! And the log cabin quilt on the wall is fantastic! Wow!

      I agree Regan on that log cabin quilt. The stripe fabric gives so much visual movement to it! And I love the colours!
