What’s a girl to do?  I love Christmas and there just isn’t enough time at Christmast to do all the stitching that’s on my mind.  So many of you have said the same thing.  You just don’t have time over Christmas to join in all the stitching games.

So, I got to thinking (with the help of a few friends) what if we do a Christmas Mystery with a Twist! We will stitch at a nice lesiurely pace.  A little here, a little there.

Here’s the canvas that will be our very first Christmas Mystery with a Twist.  Melissa Shirley’s brand new Christmas Village!

Here’s how it works; all classes will be long distance! We will send you everything you need to transform this happy holiday wonder into a Christmas heirloom. The stitchguide and supplies for one section at a time will be delivered at roughly 3 month intervals. I am planning for 7 to 8 lessons.

All the other fun details of our mystery classes will remain the same. We will post close up pictures here on the blog and continue to maintain our discussion group for the mystery on stitcherie so the only real change between our mysteries with a twist and our regular mysteries are the time frame. It will be a little loose.

Canvas design area is 20 x 8.5 handpainted on 18ct. Class cost is the price of the canvas plus $15 per lesson and the threads, beads etc. necessary for that lesson. The canvas cost for this design is $305.  As a special holiday gift we will give 20% off on this canvas!

You will need stretcher bars.

* A $150 non refundable deposit will be required. Balance due when we send the first lesson.

Lessons will start in May.  Please give us a call at 410.296.0405 to sign up early so your canvas is here in time for you to start with me.
