Canton of Lindenwood will be hosting a class on Long-Armed Crosstitch will

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828143315-10102005>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
