This workshop is a program designed to provide participants with practical information for use in producing quality needlework and for making a professional quality mount for their finished pieces.

Participants in the workshop need to provide the following materials.
  • One finished piece of needlework that is clean, pressed, blocked and ready for mounting. 
  • A piece of acid-free mat board, also known as museum board, cut inch greater than both the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the piece to be mounted. 
  • A piece of neutral colored 100% cotton fabric that has been washed, well rinsed and pressed. The fabric should not have any folds or wrinkles and must be 2 inches greater than the vertical measurement of the mounting board and 2 times the horizontal dimension plus 2 inches. 
  • Thread to match the ground fabric of the needlework. 
  • A regular sewing needle and a fine curved needle. 
  • A small ruler such as a clear quilting ruler. 
  • Scissors and a thimble, if desired.

    The guild will provide any additional equipment needed.
