America 250 Cross Stitch Celebration - a Tribute to The 13 Colonies

Join us for the "America 250 Cross Stitch Celebration - a Tribute to The 13 Colonies" with guest designer Theresa Baird of Heart's Ease Examplar Workes Friday through Sunday, June 26-28, 2026!

Following the successful launch of the "North Carolina" sampler, Theresa Baird will be back behind the mic this summer at Hobby House Needleworks.

Registration opens Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 12:00pm Noon (Eastern Time) at www.hobbyhouseneedleworks.com

THE 13 COLONIES & THE NORTH CAROLINA SAMPLER In addition to Theresa's inspirational presentation on The 13 Colonies and her earlier Colony samplers, she will conduct a Q&A discussion on the "North Carolina" sampler. She will also share exclusive sneak previews of what is coming next!

SCOTTISH THISTLE SEWING SET And there's more! Theresa will conduct a Finishing Tutorial on the "Scottish Thistle Sewing Set" that launched earlier this Fall. This incredibly popular set is available exclusively through Hobby House Needleworks and is the perfect complement to the Green Tartan WinterBury Needlework Cases that also launched this Fall.

HOBBY HOUSE LANDING ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY But wait, we're not done yet! In celebration of Hobby House Landing's One Year Anniversary, we will also be offering optional Quilting, Punch Needle, and Wool Applique Tracks taught by our very own Michelle Coon and Laura Elder of Hobby House Quilt Works and Hobby House Wool Works! (Can you really have too many crafts!)
