Class: Cross Stitch Sachet @ Saltbox Lavender Farm (7/9)

Thursday July 9th, 10am-3pm. Reservation required.

Join instructor Nichole Heady in this immersive stitching experience. Saltbox Lavender Farm is a stunning micro-farm property located in Buxton, Maine. They will be showing off peak lavender bloom season and serving as our host for this exclusive class event.

As a perfect pairing, you will cross stitch a delicate lavender sachet, and then fill it with lavender sourced right from the farm. No previous cross stitch experience is required! Once complete use to keep your wardrobes and drawers smelling sweetly.

• 10am-12pm: Basics + Project Set-up- Nichole will guide you through step-by-step, providing a variety of tips and tricks along the way. 
• 12pm-1pm: Break- Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy seating under a canopy shade or other picnic seating areas scattered around the grounds. Wander the farm, lavender maze and butterfly garden. Visit the refreshment bar serving ice cold Lavender Lemonade. Peruse the farm shop & art gallery.
• 1pm-3pm: Stitching Time- Now that you're acclimated to your project, spend the remaining two hours relaxing in the lavender garden, stitching your sachet. Use lavender from the farm to fill your sachet once completed!

This 4-hour class will provide complete instruction and you can expect to get a good start on your lavender sachet and all the knowledge necessary to complete the project at home if needed.
