Hoopsisters Valentine's Day Sisterhood Retreat


Hoopsisters Valentine’s Day Sisterhood Retreat

Don’t you think that the beautiful Valentine box is better sometimes than the chocolates inside? Make yours personal. Join Debby for our first Hoopsisters 2019 Sisterhood Retreat, Valentine’s Day. The Retreat program includes designs and instructions for three projects including heart magnets, Valentine’s card, and Valentine’s gift boxes. We will be making the large Valentine Gift Box in class. Techniques that we will use include quilting in the hoop, flip and fold construction, and applique. If you haven’t embroidered using foam interfacing this is a wonderful opportunity. This class is for the new or experienced embroidery machine owner. The designs are adaptable for other occasions and seasons.
