Fiber Talk Bristol Sampler Weekend

Original Bristol Orphanage pattern book owned by Claudia Dutcher Kistler
Bristol Orphanage Sampler Weekend with Claudia Dutcher Kistler at Sassy Jacks Stitchery was a terrific weekend of learning and stitching. More than 70 needleworkers gathered in the beautiful upstairs meeting room above Sassy Jacks and the Five Little Monkeys Quilt and Sew shop owned by Angie Lamoree to hear Claudia share her extensive knowledge of the Bristol Orphanage and the many samplers that were generated by the girls who lived there. Throughout the weekend, Vonna and Gary produced nine videos to help you experience some of the activities. Those videos, and resource links, are provided below and on our YouTube page. We hope you enjoy the viewing.–Vonna and Gary
