Let your creativity take flight! In this delightful embroidery class, we’ll perch OESD’s Heirloom Birds on painter’s canvas for a project that’s anything but ordinary. You’ll learn how to unframe and re‑stretch your canvas while stitching up designs that look hand‑embroidered but are actually machine‑stitched to perfection.

With every thread, these charming birds bring texture, grace, and just the right touch of whimsy—proof that fine feathers make fabulous art. Come stitch, chat, and create a piece worth tweeting about!

Supply list is below and a 20% is available for any necessary supplies after you have registered for class.

No prior embroidery experience required, though basic knowledge of machine operation is helpful. Don't forget to bring your enthusiasm!
