Welcome to SPRING! The weather is getting nicer and, after many months of staying home, we can finally start to venture out again. To celebrate, we have decided to hold our first ever Kimat Stitching Day! A friend that lives just north of Stouffville, Ontario has lent us her home for the day to host 20 people for a day of stitching and camaraderie. We will provide snacks, a nice lunch, and beverages throughout the day while you work on your own projects. It is just outside of town so there is a large backyard to wander in and, weather permitting, you can take an optional, guided walk in the Vivian Forest (at her back gate!).
What to expect
10am – 5pm, work on your stitching projects. There are lots of tables so you can spread out

Raffle basket, games, and prizes
Exclusive boutique for a portion of the day
Swag bag to take home
Show and share room to appreciate everyone’s hard work
Guest speaker, Master Woodworker Gene van den Elzen. He will show some of the stitching tools and pieces he has been making and talk about the process.

To keep everyone safe, attendees must be vaccinated and if you are not feeling well on the day, please let us know. We are limiting the event to 20 people to maintain distance. There is limited parking, so carpooling is appreciated (there is also street parking if needed).
What to bring?

A current project (or two) and your stitching box/basket
Extra lighting if you need it
A water bottle (optional). We will supply the water
Hiking boots or supportive footwear and suntan lotion (optional for walking in the forest)

If you are interested in attending, please register and pay online at KimatDesigns.com. The cost is $55 plus tax for the day and there is a link on our Home Page. Remember, it is limited to the first 20 people that register. There is nothing to pick up, we will contact you with details on the exact location.
Hope to see you there!

In December I had asked everyone to vote on my January Stitching project, and the results are in!
Heartsring Samplery's Wip it Good stitched on 32 count Amsterdam Blue with Wildflowers 184 Sheherezade. And boy can I tell you how nervous I was about the winners, I loved each item individually but together they would not have been my first choice. I should have known by now to trust the process and go with the flow because I am loving the results! A Huge Thank You to all who voted!

This project has got me thinking about what I want to accomplish this year in stitching. Over the past day few days I have found a few questions running around in my head; What UFO's (Unfinished Finished Objects) do I have packed away in the closet? What patterns did I purchase/see last year that I wanted to stitch but didn't? What SALs (Stitch Alongs) or Guild projects have I sign up for? And I think my head might explode with all my stitching thoughts. How do you tackle your stitching goals?
