Blue Bird: A Mystery Class UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff has announced her mystery class for Summer 2017—Ellen Giggenbach's "Blue Bird."

Class is in late July and early August although anyone can join in via mail if they won't be in the Baltimore area then.  I'll update this as Ruth posts progress reports on how the class unfolds.

UPDATE:  Ruth plays with the background, adding to the background stitch and switching colors, then creates the bird's body.  If you are curious about layers of stitching on needlepoint, this is your kind of project.

UPDATE #2:  Ruth adds flowers, leaves, a bit of sky and a wing. And she's done!
