Needlepoint Education Opportunities Abound Starting in January

No matter how experienced you are as a stitcher, no matter what your tastes might be I’ve got wonderful education opportunities, starting in January with lots of different email classes and forums.

This article has the line-up (with buttons to buy)

25 Background Stitches

It’s the second half of the 2 background stitches classes that are part of the current 25 Stitches series. I thought it might be hard finding more great stitches, but I have tons of wonderful stitches to share with you.

This class has three monthly lessons, including a great stitch sampler as the last lesson. It’s only $29 and will begin January 15.

Needlepoint Clubs

I am getting so excited about the three monthly needlepoint clubs. These clubs send you instructions for a new project every month. They all start in January at various times and last all year. With options to pay monthly or annually (at a discount),take one or all three!

Iconographic Needlepoint 2019
This year expand the possibilities for creating your own original needlepoint designs using icons and templates. We’ll explore different sources of templates from vintage advertising to clipart collections. You’ll learn about combining templates as well as how to use quilting appliques to create needlepoint patterns.

Using icons and templates opens a wonderful world of original designs that will make every project you do unique and memorable as well a budget friendly.

Although beginners can successfully take this class, stitchers with more experience will find it most rewarding.

Quilty Club 2019
This year Quilty is going to look at one type of quilt in-depth — Amish quilts. Renowned for bold color combinations, strong patterns, and glorious quilting, traditional Amish quilts are a rich source for needlepoint design.

In this year’s club you’ll benefit from my decades of studying Amish quilts and get 12 delightful projects. Initial lessons will help you learn how to develop an Amish palette you can use for all projects. Bonuses will include sources for seeing, reading about and studying Amish quilts.

Come and share the love in 2019.

Cupcake Club
If you decorate cakes as my friend Annie does, you know that cupcakes can be the best canvas for creating tiny works of art. If you stitch needlepoint, stitched cupcakes can be the same. This club, great for any stitcher, will use a simple ornament-sized cupcake as our basic to explore needlepoint techniques and different types of embellishments. Whether you want a holiday-themed cupcake, a fair’s garden design for a tea party, or just love sprinkle-strewn goodness, you are going to fins a delightful project here.

In addition each lesson will give you ideas for finding the embellishments or leamore about the technique.
