Needlework links us to people around the country and the globe, through shared skills, shared history, and appreciation for skill. Needlecrafts tie us through time to people of the past. My programs expand your needlework skills and reveal and strengthen the human connections.
Expand your crochet skill set with workshops on bullion stitch, how to combine colors in crochet, crochet charm lace (like the scarf at right), and a whole class on picot stitches, which are great for edgings and trims. More here.
Doilies and other handmade things are part of family history and culture. When you hear Suzann’s stories about doilies and the hardworking and creative people who made them, you’ll know why we say, “Celebrate Doilies!” Find meeting programs that celebrate doilies here.
Knitters, learn more about Barbara Walker’s interesting and quirky mosaic knitting technique and how to design your own mosaic designs— like the tiny house at right. More here.
Quilters and Textile Artists, add doilies to your work or learn how to quilt sweater fabric for a different kind of art wall hanging. The piece at right is made from thrift store sweaters, with embellishment added after quilting.

Further mysteries of knitting are revealed in Suzann’s Color, Texture, and Structure with the Elusive Slip Stitch. Add Color Composure to your knitting, and learn about color from other craft-ways in Color Cross Training.

If you’re going to need buttons to match your yarn or fabric, why not make your own? Learn how in Suzann’s polymer clay button workshops. Beginners welcome! The buttons on the right are from Make Your Own Buttons 2.
