Sign up for this class and immerse yourself in a luxury needlework retreat in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

During this 2-day retreat, Brenda will teach you to felt and needlepoint "Penguin," a new project in the Christmas series. Brenda has felted this sculpture to create a lively and colorful character sure to bring you joy. This really is an amazing opportunity to take a class with an exceptional teacher. Learn how to needle felt (or improve your skills) and learn needlepoint embellishment techniques. Brenda makes needlefelting Penguin FUN!

The level of this class is Intermediate to Advanced. You should be able to read a stitch guide and determine the starting area on your canvas. You should also know how to lay threads and how to stitch Basketweave and Continental.

Two days (6 hrs/day) of instruction by nationally accredited needlepoint instructor Brenda Stofft.
