I am thrilled to be teaching this course at HBT! I hope you will join me. I promise it will be fun, educational, and the perfect creative outlet for advanced stitchers, rusty stitchers, or even those who have never before picked up a needle.
Hi, Just registered for the classes starting tomorrow Nov 10/2015.

Hello, Jodi Bager;
I very much look forward to your stitching classes! I do needlepoint work sometimes, for my own pleasure. I have already reserved for the evening classes, as I am unable to do the daytime ones. See you soon, Jodi.
Best regards,
Gail
I very much look forward to these needlework classes, as I love doing needlepoint!
It has been an absolute delight taking this needlepoint course with Jodi. She is an outstanding teacher and her enthusiasm is infectious. She is extremely dedicated to teaching us the process from start to finish. From the development of the idea, to color choices, to stich options and then finally to stiching itself, she is with you at all times. I am so excited about the evolution of my challah cover and Jodi has guided and helped every step of the way. She is so positive and confident about our abilities & she is 100% committed to each one of us and our individual projects. As well, Jodi is so generous with her time, staying long after the published end time of the course and being available other times of the week as needed. I am beyond thrilled about this class. I have no previous ability in needlepoint and I truly can’t believe what I have already accomplished under Jodi’s expert guidance. What a pleasure this has been and continues to be. Thank you Jodi !!!!
This needlepointing class has been wonderful! I learned to create my own canvas from scratch. I researched motifs, learned how to transfer the images onto the canvas, and even painted the work before I began to stitch. Jodi’s passion for this incredibly rewarding art is obvious in all that she brings to class each week. Her knowledge and insight are boundless. It has also been a pleasure meeting new people and sharing ideas.
This class has been terrific. Jodi is a knowledgeable and patient teacher who has structured her classes to support each student at their respective skill level. Over a short time each has developed personalized motifs toward the creation of a unique Judaica stitchery artifact. The results are lovely and very meaningful at each stage of our projects. Thank you Jodi for building our confidence and skill level, one class at a time!
