Just wanted to pop in your email inbox with a quick reminder that we are hosting Wood Embroidery classes next week. I’ve become slightly obsessed with making new Wood Embroidery kits, and can’t wait to share this with you! If you aren’t local, you can always purchase a kit from the website.
Over the next few weeks, I hope to make some videos to make it even easier to learn how to “wood embroider”, but our kits do include how-to instructions with photos! All the wood embroidery signs are made from high quality light gloss finished wood, and once you finish with the embroidery, we’ve included felt backers to complete the back, and sawtooth hangers for hanging!
Here’s the info on the classes… and a few new kits I made this last week!
WOOD EMBROIDERY CLASS
Join us in the shop to learn the two basic stitches and create your own lovely wood embroidery sign.
This kit/class includes:
- A pre-printed scalloped wood sign, with holes, ready to embroider.
- High-quality embroidery floss in white, yellow, and green
- Embroidery needle
- Easy-to-follow instructions
- Felt backing for a finished look
Choose from two dates – Tuesday, June 11th at 6:30 p.m. OR Saturday, June 15th, at 10:30 a.m.
Also, choose from THREE wood options: light birch wood finish, dark wood finish, or black wood. All four woods have a glossy finish to them, so once you add your embroidery and the felt backer, the sign is complete!
The scalloped sign is approximately 7.5 inches in diameter, and has a sawtooth hanger on the back for hanging.
RESERVE YOUR SPOT today, so we can have your kit ready for the class.
AND MORE EMBROIDERY…
I have absolutely loved creating and designing new wood embroidery, so much so that I dream about designs when I sleep at night! Here are a couple more options you can choose from, with many more to come!
I realized after we cut the white wood version of “He Who Promised”, that white daisies probably wouldn’t work well, so I decided to add the colorful flower option! This shows a slightly different stitch for the flowers, but you could make colorful daisies too, if you like that style instead. Order online, or in the shop!
Next up is a lovely rectangle sign with “Consider How the Wildflowers Grow”, a reference from Luke 12:27. This one will have French knots as the border and the florals, with some lovely green leaves.
And finally, I designed a special heart “God Is In This Story” sign to commemorate the one-year anniversary since my open heart surgery.
The hand-lettering quotes and verses that make these signs AMAZING, are from Danielle from Imperfect Dust. As soon as I saw her sharing a video of making the “God Is In This Story” hand lettering, I knew I would be making something special with it. This is the perfect song/quote to encapsulate the last 2 years of my life.
“God is in this story
God is in the details
Even in the broken parts
He holds my heart, He never fails
When I’m at my weakest
I will trust in Jesus
Always in the highs and lows
The One who goes before me
God is in this story”
Today, June 8th, marks ONE YEAR since my open heart surgery. I’m in awe of what He has done, both before the surgery when I was so sick, and since the surgery, in the last full year of healing and recovery. He had my heart, both physical and spiritual, in His hands.
I am forever changed because of this part of my journey. I’m thankful to be here, to be alive and well, gaining strength every day. To be healing from trauma. To be finding a new lease on life. Everything is not perfect, but it is ALL in HIS hands, and I’m learning every day how to walk in faith and trust God for every breath.
One year! Here’s to so many more…as He goes before me, making the way.
