Cabinet of Curiosities Class 2 Registration Open

If you are fascinated by reproduction embroidery, check out the reproduction casket class that Tricia Nguyen of Thistle Threads is offering again. No one knows if she'll be able to offer this class a third time given the hand manufacturing of the threads and materials needed to create a stumpwork box, so sign up now if you are interested.

Yummy

Vicky is stitching Needle Deeva cupcakes!  The Joy cupcake will be taught at TNNA in early February and I imagine the others will be offered as clubs to various shops by Needle Deeva. Delicious fun and fat free, too.

Purse Shoes

This is the most innovative finishing I've seen in quite a while--a purse made from two shoe strap canvases! Kudos to Pocket Full of Stitches' finisher!

A New Orna Willis Kit

Orna Willis is exploring silk gauze, making some lovely pieces of jewelry on a tiny scale. She's just released a new kit.  It is a tiny broach that she calls "The Journey Pin."  The colors are luscious and the kit comes with everything you need.
