Frida Kahlo, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Susan B. Anthony, Virginia Woolf. These are some of the women that we will encounter in our cross stitching journey. Let's get to know their stories, what made them courageous and seemingly fearless. With Aida cloth in hand, we will discover the simple, yet beautiful art of using this one basic stitch from the embroidery world to create portraits of women who changed the world. If you ever wanted to learn how to cross-stitch, join us for a session of patterns and incredible heroines.

About Martha Zittel

I enjoy helping children unfold their own potential at their own pace. I respect and cherish the whole child, and my classes are based on their abilities, allowing me to recognize their individual process. My classes, one-on-one or in a group, not only teach the mastery of a subject, but we do it in exciting ways while creating space for kids to be kids and thrive.
