Eight-Pointed Star Cross-Stitching

  • Every One Every Day Kjipuktuk / Halifax 2169 Gottingen Street Halifax, NS, B3K 3B5 Canada (map)

Join host, Kendall (They/Them/Nekm) for an afternoon of cozy crafting! Kendall will be teaching cross stitch, which is a type of embroidery comprised of X-shaped stitches done on fabric with an even and open weave, like Aida. Kendall has created a simple pattern for beginners using the Mi’kmaw eight-pointed star as a reference. Everyone is welcome to come and learn the basics of cross stitching and learn about the significance of the eight-pointed star in Mi’kmaw culture. Kendall is a proud Mi’kmaw person, originally from Membertou First Nation in Unama’ki (Cape Breton).
