Hello! My apologies for not responding…
It’s been a slow start for my Needlepointing due to a number of personal things. The needlepoint class I went to in CHS last month was extremely helpful and I’ll be reaching out to you again soon!
I’m so glad you and your needlepoint business has arrived in CHS!

This was the BEST thing I could’ve done. All of the instructors were so helpful and made learning needlepoint so accessible and fun! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to learn.
Got wires crossed and the absolutely lovely store manager gave me a private lesson. The consultants at the shop are always so pleasant and helpful.
Enjoyed
Not only was the class very helpful thought out. The instructor and assistant very friendly and helpful. Taking time after class to assist picking out canvas and threads etc. to start a class. The feast for the eyes was from holding the class in the beautiful Broad Street location. Highly recommended experience! Great job ladies!! Great job!!
