Whether this is your first time attending Needlework Galleria or you are a seasoned attendee, we're sure you have/will meet many stitching pals that share your passion! This class celebrates the wonderful community of stitchers we meet at various events. Join our trio of teachers who embody that friendship - teaching and sharing for many years themselves, they have created a heartfelt project that commemorates the bond between them.
Each teacher has designed a specially-shaped needlework piece and will spend time presenting her project and what steps are needed for completion. Once you've spent time with each instructor, you will have collected a special grouping of needlework accessories to stitch with which to honor those treasured friendships woven with needle and thread.
We want these class pieces to be a special surprise, so only snippets will be shown at this time.
Please bring normal stitching supplies to class, along with extra lighting and magnification if needed.
