Announcing 2010 Classes at Kristin Nicholas' Leyden Glen Farm

I've been threatening for a few weeks now. After wrangling with Paypal code, taking both my computers in and out of the shop a few times (happily, they are both fine and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg - thank you Brown Computers of Brattleboro), I am all set to say today...

Here's the new schedule for Kristin Nicholas' Getting Stitched on the Farm Classes for 2010:

JULY 31/AUGUST 2010

Blueberry Themed Knitting/Stitching Immersion Weekend featuring knitting and stitching, learning about sheep farming, learn how to work with color in your stitching, enjoy an old-fashioned hayride and eat lots of local wild blueberries, lamb and more.


Here's a piece of knitting that I embellished and added edges to. You'll learn how to do this and more.


AUGUST 14/15

Blueberry Themed Fabric Decoration Immersion Weekend featuring block printing on fabric, embroidery on fabric, and painting on fabric, a farm tour, a hayride and eating lots of wild blueberries and more.

The lampshade below is how I paint on fabric with textile paints. I'll be teaching you how.


Here are a couple pieces of fabric that I made with block printing. You'll make the blocks to print from and print some fabric to take home.


October 2/3
Knitting and Stitching Immersion Weekend featuring knitting, stitching, a farm tour, a hayride and eating lots of farm-grown food. If the sunflowers are still blooming (frost willing), we'll celebrate them. Local apples will be in their prime for a quick round of homemade cider making.
