This is just what I needed to stitch the 4 Gingerbread Houses for my grandchildren.
It was an excellent resource with good suggestions and helpful tips to improve my stitching.
I really enjoy the online classes from Needlepoint.com. The videos are very quick, and easy to watch and follow. I love being able to go back and review any stitches or techniques that I forget.
I really liked how the stitch guide that came with the gingerbread course had so many photos. I found that the extra stitches shown in the photos beyond the one highlighted help me find the ideas I am looking for to stitch my cottages. Being able to see what others have done is always inspirational.
This canvas has been languishing in my "to do" pile but with this stitch guide and accompanying video, I expect to have it done in time for next Christmas. Thank you!!
I received the materials and while I haven’t taken the class yet %28family visiting for the holidays%29 the guide looks fantastic. Lots of great ideas. I’m looking forward to taking the class%21
