Ridgewood Needlepoint - Beginner's Class
Our popular Beginner's Class is perfect for the novice stitcher and the stitcher who has not gone beyond the basic stitch. Eileen is teaching this three session class. One recent participant wrote:
"I loved the first class! Even though I have 'continentalled' for almost 40 years on and off, your class taught me SO much. I am loving the magnets and the quilting knot, not to mention how to use the knot. And learning how to work from top and bottom was a revelation. Of course, the new stitches were my reason to take the class, but they have become just one of many highlights."
Participants receive a line-drawn canvas for the sampler above with your initial, threads, stretcher bars and the three classes. The design area is 6" by 6" and is drawn on #14 mesh canvas. We need a minimum of 4 participants for a section to be held.
Class Fee: $ 150.
Deposit: $ 75 plus your credit card on file.
