JANUARY
The first little Father Christmas looks like he's wearing a long, puffy down coat and has a walking stick topped with a tiny fir tree (a little sparkly, of course!) My plan is that each one will have the same background threads, but a slightly different stitch. The canvases are about 9x9, so a larger version than a small ornament or standup is possible. The ornament size model is in the shop. The class will be either Friday, January 20 or Saturday, January 28 from 10:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The canvas on stretcher bars, all threads for the ornament size model, stitch guide and instruction is $50.
MARCH
The second Santa class (I call him Night Before Christmas, with his full pack and toys) will be either Saturday March 10 or Friday March 23 from 10:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The canvas on stretcher bars, all threads for the ornament size model, stitch guide and instruction is $50. The work in progress model (at this writing) is also in the shop
Advance registration and a minimum 50% deposit is required.
Cancellation policy for project classes: Refunds will be issued for cancellations up to two weeks prior to
class or if there is a waiting list. After two weeks, you may opt to purchase the kit at the same price as
the class if you are unable to attend any session offered for that particular project.
STITCH CLINICS FOR 2012
Have you ever said "Gee, I wish I knew how to do that stitch?" But didn't have time for a half day class? Here's the answer - announcing the 2012 series of Threads Stitch Clinics!
Here's the deal: We will offer one hour clinics on various topics and stitches. You pay $15 for your first clinic and $5 each for the others in the series. You may sign up for one or all – your choice. You will receive a canvas on stretcher bars, needles, a class outline and an assortment of threads to use in class. We will cover 3-4 stitches/techniques in each session. Some stitching experience is required.
You bring: Scissors, magnification and other stitching comforts of your choosing
which can include a favorite stitch book.
Here's the schedule for the first three sessions - each to be held from 11 a.m. till about noon (sometimes we run over a bit, but feel free to leave if necessary). Each session has a theme, just to make it more fun - however, we do talk about other uses for the stitches during the class, so don't feel you must have a particular project in mind to take the class.
