SUMMARY:Palmer :: Fireweed Hand Embroidery Class
DESCRIPTION:The Fireweed design by Landly AK is the perfect introduction to hand embroidery. In this class you will learn 4 stitches in a 4-hour period. You will be provided with all supplies needed.\nYou will go home with your piece\, 5-inch hoop\, size 5 needle and thread needed to complete any left over work at home. This class is best fit for 12 years and older.\nPlease keep in mind that embroidery is a slower craft and that it is possible you do not finish the piece completely before class is over.\nNo refunds but if you contact me anytime before the start of class\, we can move you to a future event.\nThis class is currently a little cheaper than my normal class because I’m not sure we will need the full 4 hours ☺️\n2323 S.
