2 Day Class – March 6-7, 2027
Imagine snorkeling, diving, or strolling through an aquarium as an elegant angelfish glides by. Inspired by that moment, I designed a colorful and playful project for us to stitch—Anela the Angelfish! Worked on French Blue canvas, Anela comes to life with bright, joyful colors and unique motifs featuring unusual stitches to keep things fun and engaging. Threads used include Soie Perlee, Kreinik, Radiance, Capri, Entice, Petite Silk Lame Braid, and more.
