Ode to the Honeybee
Where would we be without the honeybee?
Succulent strawberries, juicy blackberries, and sweet blueberries are just three of our favorite fruits that rely on pollinators such as the honeybee. In turn, the honeybee needs a balanced diet and depends on us to plant a variety of flowers. Create your own “Ode” as you employ contemporary stumpwork techniques, including three types of padding, wired slips, and needlelace.

“Teaching Stumpwork is a labor of love for me. I am passionate about sharing what I know. I approach teaching from the understanding that different people learn in different ways. I strive to provide clear written instructions with step-by-step color photos, orally explain the technique with color coded visual aids, demonstrate stitches and techniques, and work one on one with each student as they practice their techniques.”
