Intro to Cross Stitch Workshop 18+ (Zoom)

Registration REQUIRED: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEld-qpqjwpHdW2fctL4pXjkFwZ1qom4lq9

Pick up a great new hobby this winter and learn the basics of cross stitch. Cross stitch designs can become great holiday gifts, baby shower presents, bookmarks, and more.

In this workshop we'll learn the basics of starting a counted cross stitch project, how to read a pattern, and tips and tricks to embark on your new hobby.

Jessica Schneider learned to cross stitch as a teenager but only began enthusiastically picking it up again in recent years. Since then she has created baby shower and housewarming gifts for friends as well as bookmarks to give out every year around the holidays. She found cross stitch to be a great quarantine hobby during the height of the pandemic and hopes you will find it as relaxing and engaging as she does.

No more kits are available.
