Enjoy making a small embroidered flower bouquet, suitable for framing. The kit for this project contains (excellent!) directions, the printed design on “trigger" cloth, rayon floss (used for its unique sheen and smoothness), needles and a needle threader. Participants will learn to do these stitches: stem stitch, satin stitch, detached buttonhole, French knot, cast-on stitch, and the bullion stitch. Cap: 8
NOTES: 1) Bring scissors and a small hoop; 2) Course Fee: $17 (for kit and other needed supplies; fee is collected at the first class).
