Happy Monday to you!
As we head a little closer to Christmas, A Stitcher’s Christmas – my series of embroidery-related give-aways to add to your holiday celebrations – is heating up!
So let’s start the week with another delectable pre-Christmas give-away! Today, it’s A Stitcher’s Christmas #5 – and it involves free tuition to an online class and the full materials kit.
Read on for the details…!
The Stumpwork Class…
Courtesy of Craftsy, today’s winner will receive free tuition to Celeste Chalasani’s online stumpwork embroidery class.
You can read my review of Celeste’s stumpwork embroidery class here, with all the details about what you’ll learn in the class. It’s a fantastic class, perfect for stitchers who’ve never done stumpwork, but equally good for those who want to brush up or even just try a new project!
…and the Class Kit!
Celeste Chalasani very graciously offered a full class kit for today’s give-away winner. The kit includes everything you need to create the gorgeous floral stumpwork project featured in her online Craftsy class – threads, fabrics, notions (wires and so forth). All you need to provide is a hoop, scissors, and needles!
Incidentally, if you’re already enrolled in Celeste’s stumpwork class or you just want the kit, you can email Celeste about purchasing it at kits(at)celestechalasani.com. Many of you who signed up for that class when I first reviewed it have asked about kits, so now you know – they’re available!
Perfect for a New Year’s Resolution
Every year, I resolve to try at least one new needlework technique during the year. If you do the same thing, you’ll find that embroidery and needlework will offer you a lifetime of exploration, excitement, and inspiration!
If you’ve wanted to learn stumpwork, but you’ve just not taken the leap yet, Celeste’s class is a great way to learn! And with 2017 right around the corner, maybe it’s time to promise yourself you’ll try something new!
And a class and kit combo is a great way to start!
