Stitchology

Our stitching time together are now referred to as our Stitchology time.
During 2023 I was interview by a local radio station, the presenter, Joel, had being interviewing many ‘ologists’ with a wide range of occupations. After the live interview had finished I mentioned to Joel that I had been thinking I should phone the studio to suggest that maybe I could be an embroideryologist …. He laughed with glee and mentioned it on air as ‘I left the building’

Many of my delightful students heard the interview. It lead to many joyful discussions the next time we met. They totally agreed that a stitching session with me is much better than some styles of ‘ologist’ and is much cheaper!!!
They are now delighted to have their very own Stitchologist.
At our stitching sessions are a happy and sharing time.  We care for each other but don’t get too involved with each other’s lives as stitching is ‘time out’ from every day activities.

As we stitch, we challenge ourselves, learn something new, have the joy of completing an item, have the joy of giving items to loves ones and we all know how the time totally dissolves when needle and threads are in our hand.

………At the Block  – we meet in either Block B at the Kingston Library
