For those of you who live in Adelaide, I offer free workshop with every kit.
The workshops are approximately one hour, here in my studio and I promise to get you stitching confidently before you leave.
Collins Street with Forget-me-nots
Bring a friend, have a cuppa, and start stitching.
I hope you find a spot for a Collins Street cushion (or two) in your home and join me in the wonderful craft of needlepoint.
Happy stitching!
