Learn a fun and relaxing new hobby by exploring a variety of embroidery stitches while creating a floral sampler or a band sampler. You will learn different types of needles, threads, and fabrics and the advantages of all of them. Join in for a fun-filled and creative day.Fiber arts is a huge part of the culture in the Nordic countries. Embroidery has a rich history in the Nordic countries and there is a modern revival. The history goes beyond modern record keeping. During the cold months in Nordic countries crafting (especially fiber arts) is a great way to pass the time along with using resources that were traditionally on the farm and the land. Join us in this Nordic tradition with a modern take.
