Charli is an accomplished needle artist in many genres: needlepoint, cross stitch, traditional embroidery, hardanger, temari, beading, crewel, and much more. She has been stitching since her grandmother put a needle in her hand when she was three years old. She loves sharing her knowledge with others. |

Summer Project… A Box of Stitches Our project this summer was inspired by the Geometric Box Series, stitched by Nancy Yeldell. Every area on each of the five canvases is worked with a unique stitch. The only duplication is the lines that separate the areas. The intent of the project is to use the threads that you have left over from other projects. Repurpose some of your stash! We had our first meeting on June 30th, but you can still join us! The five canvases and the stitch guide are only $65. We meet again on July 28th and August 25th; you can come in during any of our open stitching times to get caught up. |
