What is the class?

This class was created to educate and share my most loved background stitches - the stitches I turn to time and again.

After taking this course on background stitches, you will be able to use these stitches for any needlepoint background, so you can have confidence and joy in stitching!


What is included?

  • Six small lovely canvases each featuring a different wildflower (painted on 18 count canvas).
  •  Six pre-recorded multimedia lessons on how to stitch my favorite background stitches.
  • The threads to create your own series of pretty wildflower pieces that can be turned into a gallery wall, ornaments for an easter tree, or a garland - it’s up to you!
  • A class community to connect, share progress, and ask questions.


When does the class begin?

  • The class is online and self paced. You will receive a package in the mail containing the entire class kit.
