When learning meets adventure, you get engaging breakout boxes! 🙌🏻
Last night, our Community Ed crew learned the basics of needlepoint—from stitches and supplies to getting started on a project of their own!
A huge thank you to Sylvia and Susan for sharing their skills, patience, and love of the craft with us. We loved seeing everyone settle in, learn something new, and get stitching. 🧵✨
And judging by the progress we saw last night… we may have created a few new needlepoint obsessions. 👀
Thanks to everyone who joined us!
