Mystery classes are one of the most fun things in the shop! You sign up knowing only what the canvas is that we will be stitching. How we are stitching it is the mystery. Each time you come to class (or we mail you your next kit) another section of the mystery is unveiled.
Now, you also know that if I am teaching it, it's going to have a bit of bling. You also know I like to play with different threads and different stitches.
We meet from 1pm to 3pm on Sunday afternoons.
Want to read more about the mystery classes? Check out this cool article about the classes published in Needlepoint Now. A very dear student and friend called after reading the article to congraulate us, "The only thing they forgot to mention was how much fun we have." So true, we have lot's of fun!
Class cost is the price of the canvas plus $15 per lesson and the threads necessary for that lesson. It's lots of fun. I hope you will join us. We typically meet at 2 week intervals.
We post close up pictures of each lesson to the blog and maintain our discussion group for the mystery on stitcherie.

Starting with the Garden Party Heart Mod Collage Mystery Class, we are pleased to be offering exclusive, limited edition snap trays to match the canvas. Keep your threads and stitchy supplies in your tray while working on the project. It's bright; it's colorful and it's a perfect companion to the class piece. The snap trays are an additional $48.00. These are limited only to the students in the class. Once the class is over, they will not be available. They are an optional purchase so you don't have to order one, but I know you are going to want to :-) The design is a surprise and won't be unveiled until the first class.
Row of Ladies by Lee - It's a Mystery with a Twist!
OK so these little ladies are so cute and so fun that we just had to add them to our class line-up. Imagine the fun we are going to have dressing the girls. Beads, sequins, trims, oh my. Lot's of un detail and I even have an idea up my sleeve for the background!. Painted on 18ct.
Here's the twist, all classes will all be long distance! We will send you everything. You can work at your leisure. The stitchguides and supplies for one lady a a time will be delivered at roughly 8 week intervals. We have already sent out the first three ladies but we are happy to catch you up!
All the other fun details of our mystery classes will remain the same. We will post close up pictures to the blog and continue to maintain our discussion group for the mystery on stitcherie so the only real change is the time frame. It will be a little loose.
