Past Class – I Never Promised you a Rose Garden
This design is based on traditional Knot Gardens. It is a pleasure to let the textures of the threads along with simple canvas work stitches give you a Rose Garden.
Using the grid of the canvas and a clear chart will give you confidence to branch out from cross stitch. If you stitch between the classes, you can have a go at designing another border around the design.
For beginner embroiderers confident in threading a needle.
The class price will include a colour charted pattern and detailed stitching instructions. If you already have threads and canvas that you would like to use, a full requirement list with options will be sent out.
A full kit of painted canvas, needle and strand yarn will be available at the class of $36.
2 x 3 hour sessions
