Brenda Hart was here this weekend teaching one of her popular embellishment classes.  Each student brings a different canvas and Brenda picks threads and stitches for us all.  Brenda has a knack for selecting stitches that the average person wouldn’t think of.

OH MY are they perfect!

The other really special thing about Brenda is that she is open and giving.  Not only does she share her wealth of knowledge freely but she is open to ideas and suggestions.  What if we did this?  What if we used this thread?  Brenda will work with you while allowing you to grow and learn.  How cool is that?

Depending upon the canvas, sometimes you get threads and stitches for your entire canvas, sometimes only parts.  Either way, a good time is had by all.

I’ll admit a better time would probably be had if I put away the camera 🙂 Sorry ladies we need pictures.

We even had an honorary guest in class.  This is Graffiti.  She’s trained as a therapy dog and is just amazing.  She loves to come and stitch (read sleep) until dinner time.  No questions asked.  She just hangs out.

Brenda, thanks for sharing a wonderful weekend with us. Especially a magical weekend that included your birthday.  Happy Birthday.  Where you are you still have more than 3 birthday hours left this year!
