The Travel Stitch Journal

A week in thread with Elin Petronella

Elin Petronella's embroidered travel stitch journals

Spend a week at a private château in the French countryside, making a travel journal out of fabric and thread and filling it with the places and memories of your days: stitched lettering, the medieval lanes of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the market stalls of Cahors, sketched in thread.

Beginners are warmly welcome. Every stitch is taught from the very first step.

Leave your email and I’ll send you all the retreat details: the château, the programme, prices and how to book.

I’ll email you the retreat details and keep you posted. Unsubscribe anytime.
