Past Class – What a Difference a Stitch Makes
Enhance your lovely fabrics by adding another layer of stitched wool. Mary will teach you a number of her favourite outline and fill embroidery stitches. She will also discuss different needles, and how to work with different fabrics for the best result. You will be provided with a printed stitch sampler on which to try out the stitches. This can then be constructed into a handy stitch dictionary and needle book. You are welcome to bring some of your own yarn and fabrics so we can discuss and sample some creative ways to stitch. You will have access in class to other yarns and threads to try.
Not currently scheduled

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
