Something New at Kelsey’s

 

BROWN BAG STITCHING

 

This year we are offering a new stitching opportunity.  Brown bag stitching, a full day of stitching on a seasonal piece with our experienced stitching instructor Linda Dunleavy.  We will select a piece that you should be able to complete during class time.  The thought for this series is to embellish, change, and make the piece your own design.  There will also be several ideas for finishing the design.  Sign up early, space is limited.

This workshop focuses on converting a cross-stitch pattern form linen or Aida to canvas.  The student will use specialties and a variety of threads give this Santa new Dimension and texture.
