Classes:
“Here comes Santa Claus”… Pamela Van Lieu
Looking for a unique Christmas decoration? Then join
me for a trip down “Santa Claus Lane,” and hook a 3 dimensional 15” stuffed, free standing Santa. Choose from a primitive jolly
St. Nick or a charming fine cut shaded Father Christmas. It is an interesting and fun project that can easily be completed in
time for Christmas. Your class materials include pattern, foundation, wool, stuffing and embellishments to complete your whimsical
Santa. Feel free to bring your own project and I will assist you with techniques and/or color planning.
HOOKED
AND PRODDY CHRISTMAS POINSETTIAS Karen Maddox
Looking for a special Christmas decoration or gift? This
project can be finished for Christmas gift giving or for decorating your home. Combine hooking and proddy poinsettias for
a dimensional effect. Instruction on shaping poinsettias will be given and hooking the leaves and stamens will be shown.
The class will include the pattern drawn on the foundation which has been dyed, so the background does not need to be hooked. If you prefer, you may work on another project of your choosing.
