Summer Workshop with Suzanne Howren and Beth Robertson

Sunday, June 10 from 10 a.m. til 4 p.m.

The talented SHEAR Creations duo will be teaching Suzanne's version of the Whimsical Present featured in the November/December 2011 issue of Needlepoint Now. Take a simple canvas design (by Beth Gantz) , add fabulous stitches and embellishments and voila - a holiday masterpiece! Suzanne has used Kreinik Hot Wire, sequins, gorgeous silks and other metallic threads to really add personality to this little red and green package. Even though the stitch guide is in the magazine, there are so many tips to be gained from having the hands on experience in a class – and besides – it’s a day to enjoy the company of other stitchers and just have fun!

It is a 5x5 design on 18 ct canvas. Your fee of $150 includes
a full day of class, the canvas on stretcher bars, full thread kit, written instructions and lunch. A deposit of $50 is required by April 28 to reserve your place, and the balance will be due by May 26. Sign up early!!!!

Also during this time, we will have The Collection/All About Stitching trunk show in the shop which will include the sequins and star embellishments - stock up to add more fun to your creations after learning some terrific techniques for attaching them.

In addition to their SHEAR Creations designs sold by the Artists Collection, Beth and Suzanne are the authors of Stitches to Go, Stitches for Effect, More Stitches for Effect and Even More Stitches for Effect. We will have copies for sale, or, if you already own a book, have it autographed by the authors. These are great resources for every level of stitcher.

See you in June!
