Four 9- to 12-year-olds — three girls and one boy — who took beginner embroidery classes from SOME EGA members Vicki J. Brown and Connie Small between December 2025 – January 2026 have completed their Floral Dog embroidery projects. Two of them have started second and third projects, and one pre-teen joined a local bimonthly stitching group in East Kingston.
Due to high interest from kids, parents and the teen librarian in Berwick, ME, Connie Small is now teaching a weekly “Stitch a Bookmark” Youth workshop every Wednesday afternoon at the D. A. Hurd Library.
Students are learning basic stitches through step-by-step, hands-on instruction, and have access to one-on-one help as needed on subsequent Wednesdays. Well done and thanks, Connie!
