[Elfsea] Upcoming Needlework Classes

[Christine/Maria]

Hola!
 
Calling all Needleworkers, on October the 19th the Elfsea Needleworker's
Guild and Canton of Lindenwood will be hosting  a class on Long-Armed
Crosstitch will be available.  The class will be taught by a recent SCA
transplant to our area, Lady Prudence the Curious.  Lady Prudence was a
founding member of Athena's Thimble and brings to our fair Kingdom the
knowledge of the needle arts.
 
Long-armed crosstitch was used from the Vikings to the Italian Renaissance.
It is a sturdy, longlasting form popular for free embroidery and counted
work.  If you are familiar with crosstitch or embroidery of any kind, you
should be able to pick up this skill quickly.  Prudence is making 5 kits to
teach the class, so please reserve in advance.  She can make extra kits, but
only with advanced warning.  There is no cost for the class.
 
And everyone, don't forget to bring the project you are presently working on
to share.
 
UPCOMING SCHEDULE FOR THE NEEDLEWORKER'S GUILD

I encourage anyone who has an interest in the needle arts to come; spend an
evening with our Kingdom's newcomer and learn a new stitch!
 
Your's In Service,
