Beginner Quilting

Quilting is not that tough. Those pioneer women did it in the 1800s, and they did not even have electricity. It would be too hard to teach you how to quilt in just one class. It takes practice, trial-and-error. Start learning this timeless craft because it will not be long before you start to understand the process and create a lovely heirloom piece or a keepsake to treasure.

Punch Embroidery

Punch needle embroidery is a craft dating back to the 17th century. Using a punch needle a thread is inserted through fabric, one stitch only is used in punch needle, and the result is a textured surface made up of loops of thread, yarn or ribbon, similar to latch hook, only much smaller. Even if you have no prior embroidery experience, it is easy to begin with punch needle embroidery, letting you start a new hobby that is incredibly fun and satisfying.
