"In mending and making, we mend ourselves" —Deena Beverly In this hand stitching gathering we will honor a memory, ourselves, someone or something else. As we reflect on our subject we may find clarity, understanding and peace of mind. The time provides space to see with fresh eyes of why this came to pass. We will then express our discovery through color, texture and composition, in a figurative or abstract style with thread, appliqué, color and pattern. Come stitch with us. Nothing is like stitching in community with others. It’s fun, healing and grounding. Nancy will teach you the techniques and walk you through the step-by-step process to assist you with creating your work of art! Nancy’s approach is all about self-expression Please feel free to bring any fabrics or swatch of clothing that you like or has a special meaning that you would like to include in your project. All the sewing and embroidery is done by hand. It’s a slow stitch process. Prerequisites: Please be able to thread a needle, tie a knot repeatedly and make a basic running stitch. (A bonus if you can backstitch.) Materials: Students to bring: A needle or two for sewing and embroidery, embroidery thread or floss, sharp fabric scissors, any fabrics, bits of lace or clothing that has a special meaning, beads or babbles that you would like to include in your project.

Please pack a snack! *Please note: The best fabric is linen, cotton, or something used or vintage. If you want to stitch on knit fabrics (T-shirt type), you can.
