Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! Today I wanted to write a quick post to share our newest online class with you all. It’s all about Openwork Backgrounds!

I’ve noticed from working in the shop that picking out background stitches seems to really stump people. It’s understandable though: too busy of a pattern and it overwhelms your whole piece. Not enough of a pattern and sometimes it doesn’t even look like you stitched it.

This class aims to help teach you how and why to use different background stitches, and make it easier for you to pick your own background stitches as well!

Your class includes blank canvas, stretcher bars, a variety of different threads, a printed stitch guide and forever access to your online classes. Yes! Your classes never expire and will now remain in your Needlepoint.Com account as a resource to use again and again!

You can purchase the class online here! It’s one of my favorite I’ve ever written- I know you all will love it!

This May is the perfect time to brush up on your stitching techniques as our must have online classes are on sale now. Our Kit Sale only happens once a year! Whether you’re looking to learn a brand new stitching technique such as beading or Turkey Work, or want to expand your vocabulary of decorative stitches, there are tons of classes to help take your stitching to the next level.

I often get asked how our online classes work at Needlepoint.Com, and the answer is incredibly easy. Rather than requiring you to make yourself available at a particular time for a Skype session or video conference (super impractical!), our kits come with 24-7 video access in our online educational portal. Once you log in to your class, you will find all the videos you need, and will be able to watch them as many times you would like. We are also in the process of moving to a brand new system where your online classes will NEVER expire. Simply purchase the class, and you will have access to that resource for the rest of your life!

I’ve listed all of our online technique classes below, and given you all a quick breakdown of each one.

Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Ribbon Technique Class.
These are perhaps my favorite classes of all time!

Frosty Stitches class teaches all sorts of stitches for snow. Plus you end up with six of the cutest snowman faces ever when you’re all done!

Our Santa’s Beard Class teaches lots of fun stitches, and includes tons of fun, fuzzy, fluffy threads for effect!

Our Haunted Halloween Stitches Class is the best way to learn spooky stitches for your halloween canvases. Lots of fun glow in the dark threads to play with in here!

Perfectly Tailored Stitches talks all about different ways to bring clothing to life on your needlepoint projects. This class covers everything from knitted scarves and mittens, to jewelry and fancy dresses!

Our beading class is one of our most popular ever. If you want to learn how to add embellishments, sequins and other bling to your canvas, this is the class for you!

Our Turkey Work Workshop literally FLEW off the shelves when we launched it. This stitch can be so tricky to learn without good visual tools. In this class we cover seven variations on Turkey Work and other tufted stitches.

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! If you’ve been reading along for a while, you probably know that James and I got engaged right before Christmas. Naturally, I wanted to stitch something to commemorate the event. I shared a photo of our engagement ornament last night on Instagram. I’m so pleased with the way it turned out! The canvas is by Princess and Me. I made a couple of changes to the design to make it look a little bit more like us- hair color and clothing mostly! The stitch guide also called for a bright yellow background… just not my taste. I ended up swapping colors out for this light blue, which is one of my favorites. I’m planning on having December 16th (the day he proposed!) monogrammed on the back.

For those of you who have asked, we’re having tons of fun planning for the wedding. I’m busy picking out color schemes and invites…. and James is mostly excited about all the free food tastings!

If you’re looking for this canvas, you’re in luck! It is currently 20% off in the Princess and Me Trunk Show at Needlepoint.Com.
You can find that canvas right here!
