Christmas Reindeer Collage Mystery Class UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff's latest mystery class has started. This one features her Reindeer Christmas Collage.   Like all Ruth's classes, this one includes neat techniques (needle felting the reindeer) and interesting ideas (using a light coverage stitch in a different color for the background).  Stay tuned for more class photos as this mystery is solved!
