Deco Kitty Class Report (Filmed!)

Most of the time when folks excitedly report on a class they've taken, it is the students talking. This time it's the teacher!  Vicky DeAngelis takes us with her to her Deco Kitty class at BeStitched in Arizona.

Deco Kitty is a SharonG canvas.  You can see the rest of the series on her website.  Here's the original-Dog Walk and Cat Walk.  Deco Kitty is a reworked, simpler version of Dog Walk.

Here's Cats Night Out.

By the way, BeStitched filmed Vicky as she was teaching and has posted two short videos on their website.  One is about laying threads without a laying tool (railroading) and the other is on lassoing beads.  Vicky's technique is perfection so you know you want to see these.
