Moonlight Stitches

Moonlight Stitches Where friendships blossom as threads intertwine in the gentle art of Slow Stitch and embroidery. Hi I'm Rachel I'm a thrifty Embroideress and teacher.

I have over 40 years of needlework experience and 10 years as a Design & Technology teacher in secondary education. I show you how to create bespoke textile works of art, using preloved textiles and delicate embroidery through online and in person workshops in the fabulous surroundings of our 300 year old village church. You will learn how to use soft, worn mediums, that carry the imprints of live

s previously encountered - you may have a piece of your own family treasure that you want to incorporate, to make beautiful pieces that you have lovingly hand stitched which will bring pleasure to you and your future generations.

Stop Faffing & Get It Done: The Ultimate Queenagers UFO Rescue Retreat!

Got a stash of UnFinished Projects, forgotten UFOs, or mysterious Un-Recognized Objects gathering dust in the back of your cupboard? We see you—and we’ve all been there! Whether you're juggling a single WIP or trapped in a web of TAAT (Two-At-A-Time) madness, it’s time to stop second-guessing, dig those forgotten treasures out, and finally cross them off your list.

Join your fellow Queenagers for a glorious 36-hour weekend dedicated entirely to turning those "I'll finish that someday" crafts into complete triumphs.

The Details
When: Friday, Feb 12th ( starting at 10:00 AM) through Saturday, Feb 13th (ending at 10:00 PM)
Where: Online (from the comfort of your favorite crafting chair!)
The Mission: Bring your abandoned projects, bring your tea, and let’s get them finished together.

Expect plenty of laughs, relentless encouragement, virtual tea breaks, and that unbeatable high of finally shouting: "IT'S DONE!"

Grab your tickets, dust off those bags, and let's clear the clutter once and for all. What’s the first unfinished project you’re planning to pull out of hiding?

Fancy it? You can book your space here: https://moonlightstitches.co.uk/product/the-queenagers-of-stitch-ufo-rescue-retreat/

✨🧵Fancy a two-day creative bender? 🧵✨
Join us, along with Anne Brooke Textile Artist for Upcycled Summer Sewing on August 12th & 13th. It’s less of a rigid class and more of a collaborative stitch-up to help you breathe new life into old textiles.

We’ll be checking in every two hours to keep the momentum going, share progress, and iron out any wobbles. Whether you're working on an old tea towel or a well-loved shirt, just grab a 12x12 square and get stuck in.

How to join us:

✨Bag your place here: https://moonlightstitches.co.uk/product/upcycle_summer_sewing_event/

✨Raid your "to-be-recycled" pile for a 12" base.

✨Tell the household you’re strictly off-duty!

Let's see what we can create together. 🪡
