In the Stitch ’N Sip 3rd series, you will use a variety of stitches to create your own original piece of textured embroidered art to celebrate the coming of spring! Learn how to transfer a design to your fabric (either your own or one you copy) and how to combine stitches to create something beautiful! You don’t need to have attended the Sip ‘N Stitch 1st or 2nd series to participate. No experience is required and all materials are provided.
About Margaret Grottenthaler
I learned to embroider as a teenager. It was the 70s after all! No jean jacket was safe. I put this activity aside for many years, but came back to it about 10 years ago, although as an infrequent hobby. In 2018, a fabric store I frequented closed and I bought ALL of its embroidery thread inventory. After that I had no excuse not to make stitching a regular practice (and I need to use up that thread before I can shop again!). As an art quilter, I include hand stitching in my work and often embellish garments I make with some abstract embroidery. I love the texture created by layering stitched patterns and different types of threads on different fabric surfaces. I hope you’ll join me in this workshop to make a beautiful item, learn a new skill and spend a lively afternoon with some new friends.
