I'm offering just a few more 'How to Needlepoint Classes' in September, and hope that if you have wanted to learn how to stitch, you join in. The class will go over the basics of needlepointing and will come with a kit that includes a hand painted sample canvas, needles and threads.
The goal of this workshop is to get students stitching with confidence and to learn the most basic stitch: the basketweave. Bring your glasses and a pair of sewing scissors (if you have them!) and dig into your newest hobby!

Recently, I created some little watercolor angel studies with my daughter. They were so much fun that I added a wash of color to them and decided to offer them to my collectors as a 'mini series'.
The Angels are listed on my site and I hope you all enjoy them!
