This is a free, online event full of an amazing array of mediums. From weaving to embroidery to needle felting and everything in between! I’ll be sharing a brand new pattern: The Gentle Gourd and if you purchase the VIP pass, you’ll get a second pattern and additional videos from me, as well as freebies from every other artist.
And check out all of the artists who will be presenting:
I can’t wait to see you there!!
If you’re looking for another fun series, let me introduce you to my Needles Out series on YouTube! I’m going through each stitch in my new book, Needles Out!, and giving instructions and all sorts of tips and tricks each week.
I’ll leave you with all of those links and so many ways to get creative as October approaches!
Happy stitching!

Some of the links here are affiliate links. If you decide to shop through them, I earn a tiny commission that helps keep my stitching (and coffee supply) going!
Now that summer has officially arrived, I wanted to share several new classes and events that are upcoming!
I have been stitching away (while also moving my studio space, which is a huge undertaking!) and have released new on-demand classes for Michaels new hub for arts and crafts.
I’m also excited to be participating as a presenter in the online Embroidery Extravaganza with some amazing embroidery enthusiasts!
With this link you can save $20 off of the ticket price and you will have access to every single presentation! You do not have to watch this live (although, you definitely can!) and you will have access it over and over again!
Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel or my Substack, both of which are updated fairly frequently! You know, when I’m not stitching or moving all of my threads and beads!
I’ve been working on a lovely embroidery & appliqué class that you can take virtually, in the comfort of wherever you like to learn best! You can watch the trailer for this class HERE.
This is a 2 hour class with a link that doesn’t expire, so you can take as long as you need to complete the project! You will get 2 sizes of the pattern to work with and I’ll show you different options to appliqué as well as teach you the embroidery stitches you’ll be stitching. I’m really excited about this one and can’t wait to have you stitching along!
This is a mixed media project that is weekend-sized. Perfect for gifting to your favorite teacher or even creating for yourself! It’s also a great project to share with kids/teens and create it together. It involves painting and embroidery and I take you through all the steps you need to learn to create a beautiful floral piece of art!
I’ve been adding lots of videos to my YouTube channel, so be sure to subscribe and be notified whenever I add something new!
Here are a few links to some of my most recent videos:
There have, of course, been production delays along the way, but I can finally say that it (for real!) will be coming out this spring/summer! I’ll be getting my official copies in May and there are two shops I’ve been working with to get you physical copies sooner rather than later! If you pre-order on amazon, you’ll get it in this summer. If you pre-order from Needles & Bolts or Hand Craft Happy Hour, you should have it even sooner! And of course, I always love to hear that you’ve requested it at your local library or quilt shop! (Thank you so much for that!!)
So there is the latest from my desk and I hope you have lots of links (and stitching!) to keep you busy!
I also am on Substack and send out lovely little posts from there more regularly. Like my most recent correspondence from The Stabbed Stitchers Department. I couldn’t resist a little nod to Taylor.
Happy spring and happy stitching from my hands to yours!
Recently I posed a question to my Instagram audience asking what sort of classes they would like to see and overwhelmingly I was asked for a class on fabric collage with a run-time of less than 2 hours.
I was really happy to see that because fabric collage is my first fiber love. It is how wildboho got started all those years ago…way back in 2011!
So I was more than happy to put together a fabric collage class within that timeframe! I’m listing this class slightly differently this time around. You can find it in my Patreon shop, however, you do not need to be a member to purchase the class! BUT, if you are a member of the Sequins tier, the class and all sorts of other goodies will be free for you!
And if you want to preview the class, check out the trailer HERE!
I hope if you take this class, you will soon love fabric collage as much as I do! And don’t forget to share pics with me on Facebook or Instagram…I love to see what you’re working on!
I’m calling this one a mini class because the focus is solely on embroidery. We will learn 14 stitches with a concentration on fill stitches and creating three layers of embroidery. It is an entirely new concept that I’m excited to teach you!
The class has a runtime of approximately 2-1/2 hours and you can find tickets here. This class does not expire and you can take your time stitching it up!
My second class, Needle Felting and Embroidery is fiber arts based. You will learn how to needle felt a Dahlia pattern that I have created and then you will learn to embroider your project.
With this class, I have loved creating two of my favorite forms of fiber art into one project! This class also has a runtime of approximately 2-1/2 hours. With your ticket purchase, you will receive the pattern, supply list and all of the links for the class which do not expire.
Just popping into your early August day to let you know that I’ll be teaching a (very small!) in-person workshop in the Bucks County/Philadelphia area!
I have opened up the sign-ups to both of my online embroidery classes for one more week! If you are looking to get started in embroidery or if you want to dabble in dimensional embroidery, then one or both of these classes are for you!
First up is the Dimensional Embroidery Sampler workshop. This is a 2-1/2 hour class that you can take at your own pace. The link does not expire, and so you can stop and start it as much as you need to! You will learn 17 stitches in 4 different categories: Basic, Decorative Line, Isolated and Woven. I will also show you how to add sequins and beads to your piece of embroidery.
Next up is the Floral Stumpwork Embroidery workshop. This class has a running time of nearly 3 hours but is meant to be worked on at your own pace and it will take you longer than the 3-hour class. This link also does not expire, allowing you to stop and start and work at your own pace! You will focus on adding dimension to your embroidery with this class and can create a simple collage piece or a piece loaded with dimension!
Both classes are available until July 31, so grab your spots now! Be sure to check out the FAQ’s on the ticket pages and you can click on the links to read even more about the class!
If you have already signed up, be sure to share pics with me of your progress!
And be sure to check out my latest YouTube videos! I’ve continued to create shopping videos, where I will take you to local (and not-so-local) fabric, fiber and bead shops!
Also, I have previewed each of the brand new Yazzii bags that will be available for pre-order in the US on September 1st! Check out that video here.
School just wrapped up here and so it finally feels like we have a summer stretching before us! Yes, I know how fast it will fly by, but let me just pretend that it is an endless amount of time!!!
I’m adding lots to my own summer to-do list, and one of those to-dos is to keep bringing you a brand new stitch tutorial every Sunday! As a stitcher who sometimes even references her own stitching videos (yes, I really do!!), I appreciate a clear and concise stitch tutorial and so that is what I am creating for you!
And if you want something a little more focused for your summer project, be sure to check out my latest workshop, available for purchase just this month! Once you purchase Floral Stumpwork Embroidery, you will have unlimited access (that does not expire!) to the class so you can start at any time and take as long as you need to complete your project!
The unofficial start of summer is officially here as we flip our calendars to June 1st! And I just can’t think of a better way to welcome summer than to release my brand new Floral embroidery workshop!
If you took my previous virtual workshop, you’ll notice that this one is in a different format: YouTube vs Zoom. While I love zoom for live classes, recording it on YouTube has allowed me to break this class into manageable sections, which will allow you to much more easily pause the class while you work on each step of the project.
You’ll find all of the class info here which also includes a preview video and a list of FAQs!
Floral Stumpwork Embroidery is a great way to learn a technique that you can then add to other embroidery or handwork projects. Perfect for beginners as well as those already familiar with embroidery, it will teach you how to add dimension to your work. And bonus…you don’t need lots of fabric for this project! It is a great way to use your pretty scraps of quilting fabric, apparel fabric and even lace and felt!
I’m so excited to share this with you and I hope you enjoy it!
If your travel plans include the East Coast at any point, be sure to check out my new series: Shop with wildboho on YouTube! I will take you along with me as I visit quilt, bead and fiber shops. Plan your visit with these helpful videos or just be nosey and check out shops as I visit them!!
My first visit was to Pennington Quilt Works in Pennington, NJ and my second was to Owl Be Beading in Bethlehem, PA. Stay tuned as I have lots more in the works!
Now get those needles out and let’s get stitching!!
