Stitchers’ Boutiques: Tuesday, May 5 to Sunday, May 10

Open to seminar participants and the public.

Seminar 2026 is thrilled to have the following businesses taking part.

The Stitcher’s Muse is accepting pre-orders and will bring them to the seminar to be picked up in person – save on shipping.

A special opportunity for May 6 and 7 only: BeSharp Sharpening will be at the Stitchers’ Boutiques. Eric is able to sharpen your scissors – sewing, embroidery, pinking – with a 1 to 2 hour turnaround time. You can pre-view pricing at www.be-sharp.io (scroll to the bottom of the page). He accepts cash, debit, credit card or e-transfer.
