Taught by Suzie Vallerie March 24th 9:30-4 I designed the stitches for this piece for teaching purposes. I thought it would make a great class for anyone wanting to learn stitches OR if you know most of these stitches (I guarantee no one knows all of them since I made up a number of them), you can see how different threads look with the same stitch. The other cool thing about this piece is that I took a stitch and did variations with it. Sometimes I filled in an opening in a stitch and other places I left it open. They look totally different, like the mommy and baby bears’ heads. I also enlarged or shrunk a stitch, which I think makes a piece look more cohesive, rather than putting totally different stitches all over a canvas. Sign up online or by calling the shop. Kits available for those who can’t attend the class Advance registration required for all classes. Call the shop or email to sign up Happy Birthday! The Enriched Stitch is turning 6 on March 17th!
