We'll meet you at Downton Abbey this spring with our second box in the annual Downton Abbey box series! Get ready to spill the tea, and dodge the sharp insults from the Dowager Countess of Grantham while we work to raise funds for Downton's Cottage Hospital.
You can expect to find an exclusive needleminder, an exclusive set of specialty threads, and the second pattern in the series inspired by the show.
This year's boxes come with 8-10 high quality and thoughtfully planned items, including items you can use while stitching, and items you can use to decorate your stitching space, and to pamper yourself!
Our digital retreat will begin at 7 p.m. central time, April 22 and run through April 26., 2026. You will have the opportunity to help us fundraise, but also to earn gift certificates, and other prizes throughout the weekend!
Pre-orders close September 30, 2025

Do I have to participate?
-
No. You choose your level of participation: Whether that is participating in one or two events, not attending the retreat at all, but still purchasing a box, or participating in Every. Single. Challenge. You decide what will bring you the most joy during these four days.
I still have some questions
