Hello everyone! I went away for a few weeks and came back to 24 new members. I am so excited you could join the community. We are in the building stage of classes right now. It would be helpful to know everyone's skill level and if you have worked with thread in the past. Our goal here is to not just work with thread but to master it! We will go from the basics and build a sampler using basic stitches and then start working on projects. We will use wonderful patterns by well know designers with a goal to eventually being able to create patterns of our own. I used my favorite doily creation a pattern by Grace Ferron as my display here but we will learn skills like creating jewelry, appliqués, panels and so much more. Please introduce yourself here in the community and look for announcements as courses are added. The community will always be free, as we get into more advanced lessons there will be fees associated with purchasing patterns and also my time and knowledge. It won't break the bank but it can keep me creating. Looking forward to learning more about all of you!
