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
What to bring?
Hope to see you there! It's hard to believe that three months ago Kimat Designs online store launched! We are continuing to add new product daily and at this time we have over 1573 products products for sale. Would you believe that 800 of those items are patterns?
Over the past week our group/class has grown well at a wonderful rate. Unfortunately, for the benefit of all attending we have had to capped the number of participants. Please check back with us in March for more information.
It looks like I am late posting again for the sale of the month. It has been pretty busy in the store recently with the last minute proportions for the EAC Seminar in July. We are so excited to travel out to PEI this summer, however we will be CLOSED Friday, July 20th as both Kim and I will be manning the booth. Now is the time to let us know if you would like to place a special order and to pick it up in PEI, as we will be placing the last of our orders in the coming week.
In Honour of Canada Day we will have a special running from June 22 till July 13th. Stitching - 30% off everything Red and White Framing - 30% off Red and White Mats Basics and Beyond Mystery SamplerFollow along for a true mystery stitch, while we explore different stitches and patterns to create a counted embroidery row sampler. Over the years we had many request for information on how to do new stitches, or even how to begin stitching. With the Basic and Beyond Mystery Sampler we will explore simple to advance techniques, and our hope is by the end to sampler you will feel more confident in adding new stitches to your embroidery works. If you are struggling or would like to learn a new stitch, let us know and we may just add it to the sampler! This is a first attempt at a project like this, so we will be working out the kinks together The Materials
