Happy One Year Needlepoint.com Charleston! What a year it has been. We want to thank all our customers for a fantastic year, and it has been a joy to welcome our new and returning customers to the new store! Throughout the year we have expanded our lines of canvases, kits, threads and embellishments.
Needlepoint.Com-Charleston is marking its one-year anniversary by planning a spectacular stitching retreat for this fall! Since opening February 27, 2022, it has been a joy welcoming everyone to the new store to see our expanded lines of canvases, kits, threads and embellishments. Now we are ready for much more in our second year on Broad Street.
Our one-day retreat last fall was such a hit with stitchers who came from across the country that we are planning a three-day event for this September. Here is a look at the 2022 classes at the Historic South Carolina Society Hall last September.
We spent the day working on starfish ornaments from Associated Talents and learning the Victorian Cross Stitch with Elizabeth Bradley Designs. Our Fall 2023 Retreat will offer two full-day classes, five half-day classes and plenty of time for social stitching. Visit our retreat page to see class details and a full list of events.
It's been a joy to watch the stitching community in Charleston grow over the past year. New and advanced stitchers love to come to our store to stitch and share advice. We can help you pick out just the right project, offer stitch suggestions and have your piece professionally finished when you are done stitching.
Spring is upon us in Charleston, and we are excited for all the events to come! Food and Wine, the 76th House and Garden Tours, Charleston Antique Show, Bridge Run, Spoleto, and much more! Be on the lookout for our next series of class offerings coming soon.
If you are planning a trip to Charleston, come visit us at 13 Broad Street and pick out one of our Needlepoint To Go kits or canvases to commemorate your trip to Historic Charleston.
