"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!
