teaching 4-H members

I want to teach 4-H members hardanger and wonder if there might be a kit that I could purchase for each member.

I am wondering if it might be less expensive to get supplies and make up the kits. I do have a variety of embroidery hoops available. But I do not have any thing else. Besides I need to learn to it myself.

Probably I will teach your first hardanger needlework lesson. What size is it? I could get small frames at a craft store so they can frame and have a finished product.

I have learned the attention span is not long, so want a simple project. However they did stick with quilling last year and enjoyed that.

I think they will like this- - - even my boys get involved.

You are welcome to use the free hardanger lessons to teach your group, Lorna.

The design in lesson 1 of the Learn Hardanger course will measure less than 3 inches when completed.

I would love to see photos of the results of the class if possible.
