I love seeing the Nativity painted canvas sets myself, so I was thrilled when I stumbled across these videos Garden District Needlepoint has posted of their customers' finished pieces.

Learn to Torture Thread

Hey, I'm just quoting Pocket Full of Stitches' latest blog entry about the Raymond Crawford Christmas collage piece they are going to teach. You can get a kit for this once it is finished if you aren't close enough to show up in class with your whips and chains.  The link below should show all the postings about the class.  There are plenty of detailed photos of all the cool techniques you will learn.
