There are still a few spaces available in Katherine Diuguid's 2026 Seminar Class, Warwick Cosmos—but don't wait much longer. Seats are filling up and time is running out to register. This beautiful design was inspired by wild cosmos that Katherine photographed along the roadsides near Greenwood Lake and Warwick, NY. The design blends thread mixing with basic stitches with contemporary goldwork embroidery. Embroidery techniques include stem stitch, thread mixing, French knots, pearl purl cutwork and chipping. https://egausa.org/seminar-2026-classes/
