In the afternoon, is a class with Beth Seal called Crowning Glory. Pre-registration and pre-stitching a must. On Sunday, a third class. Sunday's class is with Janice. She will teach the assembly of Turn-Turn-Turn.
Each class requires pre-registration - which is now closed.

Robin shared an idea. She took her Christmas Cross Stitch magazines to Staples and had them bound. The cost was $5.15
Program - A lesson in bullion knows.
Patrick shared doodle clothes, milliner's needles and floss for everyone. He walked us through perfecting not only bullion knots but also french and colonial knots. Patrick even included little known 'sound effects' that help you complete the knots perfectly.
From bottom up, each bullion knot got better.
