ThreadWritten 2024 Portugal Tours

Our group in Arraiolos with our teachers, 2024.

Here are a few photos from two weeks of delicious fiber, textiles, stitching, landscapes, art, architecture, and food in two beautiful regions of Portugal– with great company! I’ll be opening 2025 registration in a few weeks. For now, take a look HERE. Email me to let me know you’re interested!
