Pattern and color found in polished stone is our jumping-off point to explore a new way to needlepoint. Using thread as our paint, we will master some basic stitches, learn to mix colors in the needle, and design a one-of-a- kind stitched gem. Your needlepoint can be framed, finished and mounted, attached to a handmade book cover, or used to decorate a bag.
Play outside the box and break the rules with color and stitch!
