Stitch the whimsical designs from Wintergreen Christmas before class and we’ll finish them into ornaments to add a touch of magic to your Christmas tree!

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

  1. finish your stitched piece into an oval shape with tips for getting a smooth edge
  2. add baker’s twine trim to give your project extra holiday cheer
  3. take your finishing to the next level with fun embellishments

    Crafting should be fun, and this class promises just that! You’ll have an enjoyable learning experience, whether you're new to finishing or you’re more experienced. And I’ll walk you through each step of the process so that you can confidently finish your ornament. Ask questions and engage with other stitchers in the class in a supportive and friendly learning environment.

    Join me for a fun afternoon and let's finish your cross stitch into a cherished holiday keepsake. Reserve your spot today!
