A fun mix of stitching techniques on 18ct. canvas in five colorways, including the SDANG-exclusive Patriot’s Pride commemorating the nation’s 250th Anniversary.
Join SDANG for our first workshop of 2026! We are excited to announce that Sandie Cormaci-
Boles will be sharing and teaching her JACKPOT! design on August 8 & 9.
This versatile piece is a “Jackpot” of stitching techniques suitable for all skill levels. The design can be finished as a frame weight, eyeglass case, acrylic tray insert, or even applied to clothing and bags. Of course, it can be framed as well. The design is stitched on a 10” x 12” 18 count mono canvas and the finished piece measures approximately 5 ½” by 3 ½”.
The “Patriot’s Pride” Exclusive
Originally offered in four colorways, Sandie has created a fifth exclusive palette just for
SDANG: Patriot’s Pride! This colorway is being introduced exclusively to our chapter to
commemorate the nation’s 250th Anniversary.
