I Love Classes!
Come stitch with me and I promise
you will enjoy yourself. I use a demo frame that is like a giant
piece of linen so you can see the stitches made right before your
eyes. You will also have detailed illustrated instructions in front
of you on the table, plus complete kits. Just bring your normal stitching
supplies: scissors, ruler, light and magnification. I teach as much
as possible on 20ct linen which makes it easy to learn new techniques
that you can then apply to smaller counts if you like. My classes
have a relaxed atmosphere but you won't be overwhelmed by chatter
from other students while I'm speaking. I like to get things going
with mutual introductions because you never know when you might meet
a neighbor, a colleague or a soulmate. I'll always cover the basics
so everyone starts out on equal footing. I demonstrate each technique,
then get you started with your own hands as I work around the room
providing individual coaching. Lefties are welcome! I try to provide
left-handed printed instructions where needed. There will be stash-swaps
and show-and-tell, plus usually a trunk show of delights to purchase.
It's always a good idea to wear layers in case you get warm or cold, and most students have a bottle of water handy, plus pencil and paper for notes.
The best part is the fellowship...but we will learn as well. My dad loved to say "This much fun ought to be illegal!" My parents were a well-loved embroidery instruction team and I try to live up to their legacy of love of needlework and needleworkers
