**One Day** Ribbon Embellishment Class

We are very excited about our new class on stitching with ribbon. Mary Shey, of Shey Studio, an expert on ribbon stitching, will teach the class.​
 
There will be two classes on Wednesday, April 1st
Morning:  10am ~ 12:30pm
Afternoon:  1:30 ~ 4pm
 
Each class is open to 6 students and will be done in a sampler format with each stitch repeated several times for practice. The scissor case shown above shows what can be done to a simple canvas when using ribbon embellishment.
 
The cost is $100 which includes the canvas, ribbons and a ribbon stitch book. Call ASAP as space is limited!!! A $50 non refundable deposit will be required at sign up.

STITCH OF THE MONTH

 


The background of this mini sock from Tapestry Tent’s 12 Days of Christmas series uses the Skip Tent Stitch. Since the design is painted on brown canvas and the stitcher used a similar color thread the effect is a lacy, delicate background. Using a lighter or darker thread color from the painted color being stitched over (using Skip Tent Stitch) can create subtle to dramatic results.

 

TIP OF THE MONTH

 

PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR BAGS. In an effort to help our environment we are trying to phase out using our plastic bags. We encourage our customers to reuse an old HON bag, bring in a project bag or a reusable grocery bag for their supplies and finished projects. Thank you!
