Ruth Starts Another Mystery UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff is starting a new mystery class based on the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet design from Tapestry Fair.  This mystery class is described here.  The class will run from mid-February through April.

Wait'll you see the backgrounds Ruth came up with!

But that's not enough for Ruth, who obviously wants to stitch night and day on mystery pieces.  She is also starting a second class on a brand new canvas from Melissa Shirley--Christmas Village.  This piece will be done over a much longer time frame starting next May with Ruth mailing lessons to the class participants at irregular intervals.

Here is Christmas Village all finished, by the way.

You can always sign up for Ruth's previous mystery classes.  The only difference is that you know how it all turned out.  Ruth posts photos of her finished models once the finishers get them made up on her blog.

UPDATE:  I write these articles weeks ahead of time.  By the time this one published, Ruth had announced the canvas that will be the center of her summer mystery class.  It's a mermaid with fabulous green eyes, a tiny seahorse companion, and dark flowing locks from a new designer, Sandra Vargas.

UPDATE #2:  Ruth has two framed Bastets for us to admire.  I love the petal frame!
