00:00:00,774 --> 00:00:02,930
(cheerful music)

2
00:00:02,930 --> 00:00:04,129
- I'm Anna Maria Horner.

3
00:00:04,129 --> 00:00:07,092
I am a textile designer and book author.

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,189
And I have loved doing needlepoint since I was a young girl.

5
00:00:10,189 --> 00:00:13,029
It was a favorite craft for my mom to put in front of us

6
00:00:13,029 --> 00:00:13,900
and keep it busy.

7
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:16,722
And it's a very simple craft to approach at any age,

8
00:00:16,809 --> 00:00:19,530
but the materials for it can be a little expensive.

9
00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:21,309
Creating your own needlepoint kit

10
00:00:21,309 --> 00:00:22,929
is a great way to save a little money

11
00:00:22,929 --> 00:00:25,452
and also create something completely original.

12
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:27,699
In this class, I'm gonna give you some tips

13
00:00:27,699 --> 00:00:30,179
on translating a chosen design motif

14
00:00:30,179 --> 00:00:32,460
into a hand-painted needlepoint canvas.

15
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:34,270
We'll begin by tracing your design

16
00:00:34,270 --> 00:00:35,810
onto the needlepoint canvas.

17
00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:38,340
And I'll show you my techniques for painting the canvas.

18
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:40,280
And finally I'll give you some extra tips

19
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,762
about creating a kit that's ready to stitch.
