From sunrise to sunset, purple mountains, red rocks, and green and gold trees, Colorado presents an array of colors.

This counted canvas piece contains different types of colors and symbols. “5280” is represented in the piece as the five mountain peaks, two trees, eight aspen leaf charms, and the round sun.
In this class, you will learn how to work with specialty threads, create twisted stitches, and learn about perspective.
