Penny Linn and Morgan Julia Designs are excited to welcome you to a fun weekend in Maine! We have all fallen in love with the charm of Maine, and are excited for a cozy stitching weekend up North. We will also be celebrating the Penny Linn x Morgan Julia exclusive line of Maine products, we can't wait to show you!
Like usual, Morgan and I are keeping with more non-ticketed events, so the weekend is free to join when and where you can. We loved how easy this flow is (for everyone involved) to show up and hang out. So pack your bags and projects, and meet us in Maine.
The weekend is free to join, and you can participate as little or as much as you want. Each day we’ll have different meet-ups or meals planned, and we’d love to have you join us for whatever you can make! Below is our schedule and top recommendations for things to do in the area when we’re not together.
We just ask that you please RSVP by buying this ticket here to reserve your spot.
