Debbie’s Treat

Designed by Debbie Rowley of DebBee’s Designs.

 

 

Debbie’s Treat is a small counted canvas design which uses various different stitches.  We will be stitching this design at Day Group, beginning in February.   Instructions for each section will be emailed each month a few days prior to the meeting.

Students will provide their own materials.  A supply list will be sent out in early January.

The picture on the left is Debbie’s original colors and the picture on the right was stitched by Ginger Iorizzo in her own choice of colors.

To register, please email Ginger Iorizzo at GingerIorizzo@hotmail.com.  There is no fee for members.
