    Evening Sessions

    We may add evening sessions if there is sufficient interest. If you would like to attend in the evening, please email Robbin Douglas directly to express your interest.

    Required Prework

    To ensure we can jump right into stitching in May, please complete these steps beforehand:

    1. Baste your fabric according to the provided directions. Directions are included in the supplies provided for those registered. 
    2. Mount the fabric onto your stretcher bars.

    This prework is brief but essential, as no actual project stitching is required before the first session.
