October 21–25, 2026 · Shepherd's Retreat, Leander TX
Fibers and Threads featuring Cathe Holden
Five days of stitching, still mornings, homecooked meals on a decorated table, and the kind of quiet you only find on eight acres of oak-shaded land.
What’s included
Expert-led workshops
Hands-on sessions with Cathe Holden. Bring your curiosity; she brings the project and the patience.

Custom materials for each workshop and a few thoughtful surprises tucked in along the way.
Meals that comfort the soul
Warm breakfasts, charcuterie afternoons, and a closing dinner with the evening string lights — all on-site, all included.

Getting here
