Join us for a delightful week of stitching and creativity as we dive into the art of wool applique and embroidery.

In this class, you'll discover the joy of working with wool, a fabric known for its softness and ease to stitch on, as well as the beauty of applique with cotton. Throughout the week, we will focus on creating a charming mixed bouquet of flowers, learning several embroidery stitches to embellish and bring your applique designs to life. Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or new to the craft, this class offers a relaxed yet engaging atmosphere to explore new techniques, develop your skills, and produce a stunning, hand-stitched piece to take home.

Note that the binding/backing or a frame to finish the wall hanging is not included.

What you’ll learn:

Wool applique technique

Cotton applique technique

A variety of embroidery stitches for embellishment

Use of different needles

Ideas on how to finish embroidery pieces for hanging .

This all-inclusive experience includes cozy lodging, meals, materials, and even airport pickup, so all you need to bring is your imagination!

Ages 18 and up.

The retreat begins with check in from 1-3, class starting at 3:30 on Monday July 21 and ending on Friday July 25th at 1pm.

My name is Sandy Evans. I am from the small town of Kasson in SE Minnesota. I’ve been stitching since I was a child and have spent the last 40 years sharing my love of creativity with others. My career in retail has included owning a cake decorating store, a craft store, and for most of my career, a quilting and stitchery store in the Rochester, MN area. I hold a BA in Art from Augsburg College and consider myself a mixed media artist, blending techniques to create rich textures. Working mostly with fiber fills a need to touch the texture and see the colors. I have taught hundreds of classes and led many retreats, always enjoying the process of helping others master techniques and explore their own creativity.

The Bear Creek Bunny Retreat with Teresa was an amazing experience! I learned so much about needle felting and creating these whimsical characters. Teresa is a wonderful teacher. The Nome Schoolhouse is a inspiring place to learn so many different fiber arts skills.

By Marcy B for Bear Creek Bunny Retreat 2025 With Teresa Perleberg on Mar 17, 2025

What an amazing experience! I learned more about fiber processing than I expected. The time in the fiber mill was priceless. Chris's excitement and enthusiasm was infectious and you could tell fiber is her passion. The accommodations and meals were great! All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. I feel lucky that this place is less than 2 hours from me. I hope to be back for a meal, shopping, or another retreat!

This was another FANTASTIC weekend at Nome Schoolhouse as our annual FCS retreat. Blessed to have this opportunity in our rural state. Chris is a phenomenal host and a 'Jack of all Trades,' ALWAYS willing to go above and beyond to make the customer feel at home. A relaxing weekend of fun, food, and friends!! :)

BEAUTIFUL setting. The perfect place for a quiet retreat or small wedding, family reunion, etc. The old schoolhouse has been restored so incredibly well. Definitely a one of a kind place! The food is AMAZING and service can't be beat. I have visited three years in a row and they just keep getting better! Definitely recommend going out of your way to see this place!
