Look at Kelly and Ruth! (and Vicky)

The Internet has allowed us all to peek over the shoulders of some fabulous designers and teachers as they work on class projects to tempt and delight us.  If you come over here and look through this link, you'll see Kelly Clark's latest stitching progress on two of the Thanksgiving canvases (Indian Brave and Pilgrim Gent) she is stitching as a class project for Needle Works of Austin, Texas.  The beaded moccasins and the rifle are inspired!

There's nothing Kelly doesn't know about dimensional touches on needlepoint canvas.  If you are charmed and want to know how to join Kelly's Elegant Thanksgiving class, talk to Needle Works in Austin.

If you are more a Halloween Whimsical person than an Elegant Thanksgiving one, check out the mystery class Ruth Schmuff has just announced for this fall.  This is from the same Share One's Ideas Design's witch shoe series as the very popular "It's All About the Shoes" piece that both Needlenook of La Jolla and M's Canvashouse have done classes on.
