Sandy Rodgers

I’ll again be teaching two classes at the ANG Seminar. The Seminar will be held in San Antonio, August 26-September 2, 2011.

On Monday and Tuesday, August 29-30, I’ll be teaching Rose Confetti. It’s a wonderful ‘confetti’ of many techniques all combined into a delightful composition. We’ll have a taste of several forms of bargello, contemporary cornelli work, and so much more. Central to the design is a beautiful rose. There’s a choice of sunny yellow or rose pink for the canvas and silks.

On Thursday and Friday, September 1-2, I’ll be teaching a class just for teachers. It’s called The Business of Teaching Embroidery.

An exciting bit of information concerns the ANG Seminar 2012, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’m going to be teaching lots of classes! There will be three new project classes, plus a color and a design class. 2012 Seminar is ANG’s 40th Anniversary and it’s shaping up to be a glorious celebration.

Please stay awhile and allow me to share some of my needlework with you. The links to the left will take you quickly to various areas of the site. But before you go exploring, please let me tell you a bit about me and my embroidery.

I’ve been teaching across the US and internationally for over 25 years. Although I continue to study all forms of embroidery, the classes I teach focus on silk and metal threads on canvas. I blend various techniques, stitched in silk or metal threads, in my canvas creations. So you’ll find that my designs don’t have a strong inclination toward any one theme.

I’ve developed a reputation for writing excellent and complete project instructions. I do a lot of teaching and a lot of judging. And I love doing both! I also love writing about embroidery. I've had a column in one needlework magazine or another since 1985 and still do today, plus I've written seven books which quickly became needle work classics. Five of those books are still in print and described under Sandy's Books.

On this site you’ll find some of my retired class project instructions for sale, as well as my books. My current teaching portfolio is here for those who are interested in arranging a class. There’s also a fun section showing what I did before embroidery entered my life. You might be surprised!
