We were treated to an in-person presentation from Teresa Miller of Teresa’s Primitives.
We received pre-stitching which was EZ-PZ to complete.
We learned to mount the stitched piece.
There is one more step to this project - but alas - this stitcher had herself double booked for the day and had to leave before we worked on the wool pumpkin.
Teresa brought a fabulous trunk show the many took advantage of. She has a variety of wood pieces and boxes for mounting your finished work as well as punch needle and wool patterns. And so much more. Teresa’s prices are so reasonable and although she has all the standard sizes, she also will custom make her frames, etc. to your specific size. Please see her links before to access her products.
