Ready to move beyond the basic and elevate your stitching? Join us at Lucy Lane Needlepoint for an 8-week intensive series designed to build your decorative stitch repertoire, boost your stitching confidence, and create a custom heirloom pillow!

Each Friday evening, we’ll dive into a brand-new decorative stitch family—exploring texture, tension, and compensation. By the end of the course, you will have mastered 8 distinct decorative stitches, filled in your custom canvas, and be ready to send your completed piece off to be finished into a decorative pillow.

What’s Included:

• Custom Hand-Painted Canvas: A 6"x6" (13-mesh) canvas featuring your custom painted monogram in the center, pre-mapped into 8 distinct stitching quadrants.

• Reference Book: Your own copy of the official Stitches to Go reference book to keep in your project bag forever.

• Tools: Tapestry needles and snips.
