New Craftsy Class — Stitch & Slash

Tomorrow I will be filming my “Stitch & Slash” class for Craftsy.com. I can’t wait. It’s always so much fun to work with this talented and fun group of people. The same team that filmed my “Stupendous Stitching” class will be filming this one so it will be less stress for everyone.

Denver Arts Week
