Shining Needle Society (SNS) has announce a new cyberclass starting May 20 which will run through the end of August. The teacher is Jim Wurth and the class project which you see above is called “Study in Gold and Silver.” Let me quote the class description from the SNS announcement--
“The timeless elegance of white, gold and silver is realized in this 18X 7 inch geometric panel that juxtaposes traditional stitches with modern classics. Silk, rayon and metallic threads are used to create dramatic focal points (Chilly Hollow Stitch, Pinwheel Mistake Stitch and double-thread Jessica) that are centered amid a variety of straight, diagonal, cross, eyelet, tied and padded stitches. This class is designed to nudge the intermediate stitcher into more advanced territory. (Note: Although not absolutely required, some prior knowledge of Hilton-type stitches will prove useful to the student.)”
If you are a member of the SNS, you can read the class description in the files section of the Home Room group. Go to:

There’s a photo of the completed project in the Photos section of

I understand that the class will cost $94 for a 75-page spiral bound instruction booklet with four color photos and the teaching fee. Students will provide their own threads, canvas and stitching supplies. Provision has been made for prior students of this class to audit the online version and participate in the online support group for $10. Please note if you sign up after May 2, the fee goes up $5. To enroll, please email Jim directly at jwurth@msn.com and put "SNS Gold & Silver" in the subject line of your email. Please let Jim know which method of participation you would like --instruction booklet or audit--(again, only available to those who have previously taken this class). Jim will email you an invoice that can be paid via check. By the way, all that blurry stuff in the photo--bet that's the shine of the metallic threads. You know how metallics don't photograph well.
Many thanks to the Shining Needle Society for bringing nationally known teachers to us at home!
