Special Projects For On-Line Classes

BRIGHTNEEDLE'S MOUNTAIN FLOWERS  $125.00 - sold out until next class
this class comes as a complete kit and is a departure from their usual sweet designs.  mountain flowers collection includes a clutch etui, needlebook and fob.  the etui is worked in an "all-over" pattern, giving it an almost tapestry look.  there are 8 specialty stitches used plus a smidge of over-1 stitching.  the construction, with it's side tabs is unusual but easily accomplished.  this collection is worked on 29 count glenshee linen using weeks, crescent colours and gentle arts sampler threads.  included in the kit is a woolies pincushion, designed especially for mountain flowers by sue fay.

this class will be taught in two sessions (october 5th and 20th, 2009) via a specially formed yahoo group that is available when you are.  admission to the class is only extended to participants of the class and this will be a closed group.  at sign-up, your card will be charged a $60.00 deposit to hold your class kit.  the balance of the class fee ($65.00 plus $4.95 postage) will be charged to your credit card when the kit is mailed to you the middle of september.  postage will be delivery confirmation flat rate priority unless you are overseas - then we will ship airmail.  

we love this piece...and we have a couple more brightneedle up our sleeve too...for later on in the fall.  enjoy...it is really quite wonderful.
