Take your finishing skills beyond the basics in this hands-on Irregular Ornament Finishing workshop.
During this afternoon session, you'll learn the techniques needed to finish unique ornament shapes—including door hangers, specialty ornaments, and other non-round designs. Together, we'll cover preparing your stitched canvas, creating smooth curves and points, selecting backing fabric, assembling your project by hand, and adding custom cording for a polished finish.
By the end of class, you'll leave with the confidence and techniques to tackle a variety of specialty ornament shapes on your own.
Please bring:
One completed stitched canvas suitable for irregular ornament finishing
Backing fabric of your choice
Cording materials in the colors of your choice
I recommend DMC #5 Pearl Cotton for making custom cording
Additional finishing materials used during class will be provided.
Participants are welcome to arrive during the lunch break beginning at 12:00 PM to enjoy the curated needlepoint pop-up featuring kitted canvases from some of my favorite local needlepoint shops before the afternoon workshop begins.
Following class, all October 8 participants are invited to stay for Open Stitch & Community Time from 4:00–5:30 PM.
This registration is for the afternoon Irregular Ornament Finishing session only.
If you'd like to attend both finishing workshops and enjoy the complete Deer Stone experience, please register for the Full-Day Finishing Experience instead.
Space is intentionally limited to provide plenty of individual instruction and hands-on guidance.
