Have you ever wanted to try your hand at embroidery? Join us for a Traditional Skills Embroidery workshop* in the Mansion with Meaghan Monroe of Subito Farm Designs.
In this workshop, you will learn 3-4 basic embroidery stitches then put them to work stitching your own 3-inch round embroidery pattern. Each participant will get to choose one of the embroidery kits to make during the class: carrots, onions, radishes, Swiss chard, or peppers. Each kit will include: linen with designs printed on, wool yarn to stitch the design, DMC needle, instructions, and a stitch guide. Students will also be provided with scrap fabric and yarn to practice and a pair of scissors to borrow for the class.
