This workshop is part of the Weave Minnesota Conference. Add hand embroidery to your handwovens! These stitches look complex, but are all built upon a simple chain stitch, like variations on a theme. Each one is perfect to use as borders, lettering, or to decorate a hem. We'll make samples of six different stitches step-by-step.
“Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by…” Becka talks about the secret power of saying YES, even when that unexplored path in front of you definitely has wolves and quicksand. She’ll share her journey of creating a full-time art business from nothing, the essential skills you must have in your travel pack and the unforeseen dangers on the road. Learn about how she quit her day job and found out how amazing and difficult it is to be her own boss and blaze the trail. Finally, she’ll share some tips for recognizing milestones on your path and finding some hiking companions along the way.
