We are very excited about The National NeedleArts Show being in Phoenix this year. As you can imagine we are busy getting ready to attend the show as well as hosting some designers and visitors in our shop.

Jeremy from Kirk & Hamilton will be in the shop 1/18, Wednesday afternoon for a "meet & greet" . K&H have beautifully painted fun, whimsical canvas styles we have all come to love. Melissa Shirley will also be visiting BeStitched Thursday 1/19, from 5-7. She needs no introduction... Be prepared for lots of fun both days. Refreshments will be served.

 Join us for this beautiful workshop. Canvas by Melissa Shirley and stitch guide by Wendy Harwood. You will be amazed at what you will learn in this wonderfully creative class. If you have been afraid of ribbons...worry no more. The techniques you will learn for the flowers are nothing short of fabulous! The beading is easy and spectacular. I would be remiss in not discussing the furry little squirrel. Yes, you can do it!

This class begins Friday, Feb 3rd and will have additional follow-up classes approximately every 2 weeks. Long distance stitchers are welcome to join in. As always, we will have videos demonstrating specialty techniques. Please book your space ASAP...we are ordering canvases now.

Saturday, Feb 11 we are having a bracelet embellishment class. Choose the bracelet canvas that sings to you and let Paula take you down the creative path to creating a masterpiece. Beads and Bling are guaranteed! The class fee is $60 and includes lunch (canvas and threads are additional).

Day of the Dead Workshop   

Dead never looked so fabulous! They are dressed as though their lives depended on it! If you are going to take one class this Spring, this should be it. Learn fantastic ribbon and beading techniques, as well as creative decorative stitches to really bring this canvas "back to life".  

Join us mid-March for a series of workshops. As always, this piece is available to our long distance BeStitchers . Reference videos will be available as always. Please sign up ASAP, as we are ordering canvases soon. Canvas cost is $209.00, (thread kit and guide additional).

 Encore "Crazy Quilt" class!  

By popular demand BeStitched will be teaching an encore of Kelly Clarks "Crazy Quilt" class. It really is quite a unique piece. The embroidery techniques and bunny stump work are the crowing glory.

Long distance and local BeStitchers welcome. Videos of techniques will be available for your reference. The canvas cost is $115.00 (threads and stitchguide additional).
