A Year in Stitches 

A Year in Stitches is a yearlong, monthly class series where you will learn 4 new, exciting, decorative stitches each month corresponding to a specific, designated monthly theme or effect.  I use a variety of exquisite, specialty threads, ribbons, beads, techniques, custom stitch guides, and more each month. Working through this class, you will create your reference stitch sample binder with 48 stitches, 48 graphs, and any detailed, personal notes.  

 

Every year is comprised of new stitches with no duplication. Great joy is found in this unique class experience, whether virtually or in person, through the development of wonderful relationships with other students in the class who will be together throughout the year. I can’t tell you how many times I have had students say they look forward to this class/day of the month... it is the highlight of their month! I hope you will contact one of the 6 collaborating shops to join us.

Private Lessons

Price: $50 / Hr

For those wanting a more personal, hands-on experience, I offer private lessons, both In-Person and Virtual, to address any of your stitching questions.  This is a great opportunity to receive suggestions and guidance on stitch choices, thread selection, embellishments, and more.

 

I am also equipped to demonstrate and teach you techniques that could include beading, ribbon work, detailed stitches and more.  I am available to offer these private lessons in my home, virtually or in collaboration with any LNS I am visiting.
