We hold weekly embroidery classes - both day and evening, and weekend workshops. The embroidery above was stitched by Marion, who comes to Jan Bergman's Friday morning class. There isn't a pattern for this piece, Marion followed Jan's instructions each week to complete this stunning framed embroidery. To get you inspired, we have lots of samples on display - beautiful blankets, silk ribbon embroideries, thread painting, Brazilian Embroidery and Dimensional Embroidery.
There are a lot of Australiana kits and patterns available for blankets or a framed embroidery. Many of these are on display in the shop.
Our teachers are always willing to help and inspire you!
