Written by
Wednesday, August 10, 2011

A workshop about plastic canvas cross-stitch will be taught at 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 18, at the Jackson County Public Library.

Sally Salyards, program leader, will teach a simple pattern during the class. Materials will be provided.

Plastic canvas cross-stitch is easier than knitting for people affected by joint problems. Children over the age of 8, as well as adults, are encouraged to participate.

Salyards, originally from southeastern Virginia, has lived in Jackson County for nine years and is an employee of the Jackson County Public Library. She has several craft hobbies including sewing, knitting, rug hooking as well, as plastic canvas cross-stitch, which she has been involved in for 30 years.
