No matter how long I've been stitching, I'm always delighted to learn new stitches. Yesterday, the Ridgewood Needlepoint Staff took Carole Lake's Straight Stitches class taught by Gretchen. She did a great job and we all came away with samples of eight stitches. There were at least two or three that I have meant to try but just never got around to the particular stitch.
I used the Beaty stitch on the Patriotic Door for the columns. I will be taking a picture soon but I just wanted to encourage our customers to take advantage of the our classes. As we become more experienced stitchers, our view of stitching changes. We like different things and can still learn so much even after years of stitches.
