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.
