Sampler Club

Wednesday Afternoons 1pm - 3pm, starting 22nd February. First term (7 weeks) $70

This class is for those with a love of samplers. It is open to all levels.

This year the class will be working on ‘My Stitching Album’ designed by Jeanette Douglas.

This is a book with 8 pages and a front and back cover.

Each page explores variations of one particular stitch.

You will need to purchase the pattern for each page, then choose your own threads to make your variation.

If you don’t choose this option you are free to work on your own sampler with help or choose another project like the sampler bag below.
