Judy made this pillow awhile ago and had displayed it in the shop attracting many people to stitch it.  Look closely at the fabric she chose to complete the finishing.

Deadline to sign up for Patchwork of Peace
extended until December 1st. 
However this class will fill up so make your decision soon.

 

The Patchwork of Peace comes with a few choices so when making a decision please consider your options.  This class is set up for you to use much of your stash as well as purchasing some new threads.  The painted canvas is red, white and blue.

The painted canvas is available on 14 or 18 mesh canvas – 14 mesh being the standard.

The painted canvas and stitch guide will cost $255.

The line drawn canvas is also available on 14 or 18 mesh white canvas.

The line drawn canvas and stitch guide will cost $185.

The 14 mesh canvas is 13” x 19” and will require stretchers of 19” x 26”.

The 18 mesh canvas is about 10 ½” x 14 ½ “and will require stretchers of 16” x 21”.

Evertite bars are suggested over regular stretcher bars. 

A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to hold a spot in the class.

Each class will be $30 per class whether you are able to attend or not.

The class dates are set for Saturdays from 2:00PM – 5:00PM. 

These dates are January 19^th, February, 16^th, March 16^th and April 20^th.  If you have to miss a class you will have the opportunity to make up the class at a Stitch and Chat for free.

Please call or email if you are interested in signing up for this class.

As you can see from these photos you will learn new stitches and use new threads.  If you have taken the Beginner Class you are certainly able to complete this project.
 

How cute is this little angel and it is self finishing. 

Plenty to choose from as well.

Gretchen made this wonderful gift for a family member - a great surprise.

The Trunk show has arrived.  Please stop in the shop to see all Kirk & Hamilton canvases that have arrived from England.  If you are unable to come in, check out their website for more canvases.  I will share with you some of the fun and sophisticated examples.  All Trunk Show canvases that are ordered will be 20% off and if you bring back a completed Kirk & Hamilton canvas by May 16th (my daughter's birthday) you will receive 20% off finishing as well.  These will not be considered part of Resolution Stitching, which makes this an added bonus!  So take advantage of this offer and treat yourself to something happy or elegant.  Vanessa
