Slow Stitching Workshop

with Artist-in-Residence Diane Helentjaris

Learn the simple stitches of traditional Western and sashiko embroideries which can be used to make unique patches, needle cases, journal covers, greeting cards, or framed artwork.

Slow stitching is a relaxing activity that allows you to create new items from materials you already have.

Catch Diane Helentjaris in action as she explores traditional and modern needlework, ranging from Civil War-era penny rugs and cotton quilts to today's slow stitching trend during the Artist-in-Residence series on Wednesdays, Jan. 22 through March 26 (except for March 5). 

She will also be presenting two additional programs at Rust Library:

What's in your Button Jar? on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2 p.m. 

Create a Penny Rug Valentine on Monday, Feb. 10, 7 p.m.
