SUMMARY:Embroidered Needlebook
DESCRIPTION:Embroidery is an old art form. It can be purely decorative or used for mending. All you need is a needle\, some type of thread\, and a foundation to stitch into.  \n \nThere are hundreds of stitch variations. Using different threads – silk vs. wool vs. cotton vs. synthetics – produces different looks.  \n \nOnce you become familiar with the basic stitches\, you can make your own embroidered needle book to store needles for your next project. \nThis class is for adults and 16+ year old youth\, and costs $55 per person. The class fee includes all the materials (handouts with instructions\, felt\, embroidery floss\, needles\, and scissors). Please bring glasses and/or a magnifying device (if you need them).  \nRegister on EventBrite HERE. \nCancellation Policy: Up to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund. Under 3 weeks before the event\, no refunds.

SUMMARY:Northern Bedrock Replaces Logs in the Pastor's House
DESCRIPTION:Three crews from Northern Bedrock will be replacing between 11-14 logs in the Pastor’s House on the northwest and southeast sides of the building. The logs have rotted from age as well as water damage\, and will be replaced by 15 crew members. \nThe logs will be chainsawed to the approximate size. Once that step is complete\, each log will be hand-hewn\, as the Swedish immigrants did to build the Pastor’s Home in the 1800s. \nThe crews arrive on the 9th\, work from the 10th-16th\, and then pack up and travel back to Duluth on the 17th.

SUMMARY:Crochet a Rag Rug
DESCRIPTION:Rag rugs have a long history and continue the tradition of reusing fabrics in a sustainable way. Traditional braided rugs can last years\, but over time the thread used to sew the braids together can deteriorate and create holes. With crocheted rugs\, there is no sewing meaning they hold up better. In this class\, students will learn how to create a smooth join to connect strips of scrap fabric and crochet them into the start of a rug.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA prior knowledge of crochet is helpful\, but not required. Students should bring a size N\, P\, or Q-sized crochet hook\, a pair of sharp scissors\, and cotton scraps* of their choice.\n\n\nThe cost of the class is $55 and includes handouts with instructions\, rug fabrics\, and crochet hooks if a student doesn’t have one.\n\n\nRegistration information and a link will be forthcoming in mid-April.\n\n\n\n*Students should gather scrap cotton fabric in colors of their choice. Old sheets\, cotton shirts\, and T-shirts work well. Additional fabric will be available. If possible\, cut into 3/4 to 1-inch strips. Rotary cutters will be available in class.\n\n\n\n\n\nTheresa Hornstein has been crafting since childhood. She teaches classes in crochet\, knitting\, natural dyes\, felting\, and sustainable crafting. She is a current member of Nice Girls of the North and a former member of the Bayfield Artists Guild.
