3-Day Embellishment Retreat with Paula Rae Schmidt ∙ August 11-13, 2026

How To Register

Secure your spot today with the registration fee of $495. Materials for the retreat will vary based on the canvas you select (purchased separately) and are not invoiced ahead of time. At the beginning of the retreat, and in consultation with the instructor, you will select and purchase threads to complete your project.

Please purchase any canvas from Stitching Fox, ensuring its arrival in our shop by April 1, 2026. Your canvas will be sent to the instructor to create the first 5 stitches for your use on the first day of class, with additional stitches selected and taught during the retreat.

The Retreat Experience

Sign up for this class and immerse yourself in a luxury needlework retreat in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains...

Students purchase any canvas from Stitching Fox, ensuring that it arrives in our shop at least 1 month prior to the class. Stitching Fox sends the canvas to the instructor to create a preliminary stitch guide of 5 stitches and threads. A more comprehensive stitch guide will be created over the days of the retreat taking into consideration the student's stitching ability. The instructor will ensure that the stitcher learns techniques to move them to the next level.

The level of this class is Intermediate. Stitchers should have some experience with needlepoint prior to taking the class.
