Dana is very passionate about sharing the joys of fiber arts. She has been needlepointing for over 30 years, following in her grandmother’s footsteps. After spending decades helping build some of your favorite beauty brands, Dana wanted to bring her love of needlepoint to new stitchers, removing the barriers many new stitchers face by creating a kit geared to adults that gives you everything you need to not just start needlepointing but make something you can actually use!

This is a 2-hour course that meets once. Additional time stitching after class will be needed to finish your project.

Your instructor will walk you step-by-step through each aspect of the course at an easy-to-follow pace.

You will get to pick your colors and patterns.

In class, you will get started on stitching a sampler of decorative stitches and then move on to embroider a design of your choice to finish into a bookmark with help for each step of the way.

Embroidery hoop, fabric, needles, thread, finishing supplies
