502 S. White St., Wake Forest, NC (North Carolina) 27587 United States

Whatever's Quilted is happy to announce that we are hosting a retreat this August 8-10, here in Wake Forest for Art And Stitch. Loes and Theo van der Heijden, are coming here from the Netherlands, to teach the ins and outs of Art & Stitch. The first two days will focus on quilting designs and the third day will be devoted to their new embroidery module. What exactly is Art and Stitch? Art and Stitch is a design software package that is used to digitize quilting and embroidery designs. I use it to create, modify, and convert designs both for my Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher as well as my Janome embroidery machines. However, it will convert designs to most available machine format. You can find out more about the software by going to their website and clicking on the Video tab. http://www.artnstitch.com/index.html Loes gives great instructions. You can reserve your space in the class by going online to the Art and Stitch workshop tab. http://www.artnstitch.com/workshops/index.htm. If you plan to spend the night there is a group rate at the Candlewood Suites in Wake Forest.
