Finishing Technique
of the month
September -- Assemble pumpkin from
Plum Pudding's "A Time to Reap".
(You can also choose another pumpkin design
such as "Three Pumpkins" from Priarie Grove)
Our annual "Of the month" series continues with this year's "Finishing Technique of the Month". Each month we will show you a different way to finish your cross stitch projects. These will all be simple techniques ... and none of them will require a sewing machine!
We will meet on the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30 - 9:00. The cost for each session will be $5.00 + materials. Join us every month, or just come to the classes that interest you.
There is no need to pre-register. However, it would be helpful to let us know if you are planning to attend.
Our complete schedule for projects for 2010 is not available yet. We will be coming up with new projects and repeating some "old favorites".
