July Events Calendar

Happy July!

For my American subscribers, I’m so excited to celebrate the 250th with everybody this week. I currently have family visiting and it is so restorative to get to be surrounded by loved ones again. I hope you also get to enjoy a long weekend celebrating with fun, flag cakes, and family!

I wanted to celebrate 250 years of American independence with a little extra giveaway.

The winner will receive a $250 gift card to a local needlepoint store of their choice!

I know it can be hard to find certain topics.

As a reminder, the NashvilleNeedlepointer Table of Contents will be your best bet to search and find all tutorials, written guides, and uploaded recordings. I recommend bookmarking this page for quick access. On a computer, you can press “ctrl + F” or “command + F” and easily type in what you want.

Second, there is a Google calendar with the monthly events. You can view and subscribe to the calendar here to have all events show up on your personal calendar so that you never miss another event.

Stars are one of the more difficult shapes to finish and so I wanted to take some time to tackle star specific finishing. We will cover where to cut tabs, how to hide cord joins and best practices for star finishes.

In addition, I’ll be releasing finishing templates for Postcard Row’s Line of Stars to paid subscribers, but all subscribers can take advantage of this exclusive discount code. Use “LITAstars15” for 15% off the Postcard Row stars.

For new subscribers, you can subscribe to the event calendar HERE and never miss an upcoming zoom or class! Class zoom links will be visible below my signature for paid subscribers.

Grab your current work in progress and join us for a couple hours of group stitching. All subscribers, free or paid, are invited.

Join this Zoom class to learn how to finish star ornaments. We will cover where to cut tabs, how to hide cord joins, and best practices for star finishes.

This is a dedicated time to work on finishing with other stitchers in a supportive community environment where we can freely share tips and tricks. Lita will be available to answer finishing questions and provide virtual handholding. Bring your tricky finishes for free consultation and hands on virtual help.
