Spend an hour each week stitching in this fun hand embroidery sampler class, held online via Zoom. We are going to make wool felt needle books, a classic sewing notion to store your needles and pins. You can choose from three different designs: Dog, Cat or Rabbit.

This is an 11 week class, starting April 11, 2024. Class will be held Thursdays from 12-1 pm Central time. NOTE: This is the live Zoom version of the class. Your registration in this live version also includes access to the pre-recorded on-demand version of this class. The on-demand lessons parallel the live class, so if you need to miss a live session or need a refresher, you can catch up with the recorded version. Instructions on how to access the recorded sessions will be provided at the first class session. Class dates: April 11, 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 23, (no class May 30), June 6, 13, 20, 27.

Each week, you will learn a new stitch and complete a section of the needle book. The finished books are 2.5 x 3.5 inches with a snap closure and three felt pages for storing needles. The class registration includes a kit to make ONE needle book. Extra kits are available at the link in the right sidebar.
