If you’ve been with me for a while, you know I usually like to announce classes once the details are all tidied up — dates on the calendar, kits planned, threads ordered. In fact, next year’s schedule is already planned (and it’s going to be amazing).
But sometimes a canvas comes along that stops you in your tracks — the kind that makes your makes my heart go pitter-patter — and suddenly the plan flies out the window.
Say hello to Secret Garden, interpreted from the art of Mary Charles. It has everything we love: flowers, a kitty, a sweet little beehive, and tons of charming detail. Is this not our canvas?

So I’m breaking my usual rules and announcing it now, even though the class won’t be until sometime next year. I just received the canvas and yep — I’m still completely smitten. I’ll be writing the stitch guide and working it into the calendar when the time is right.
Here’s why I’m telling you now: this design is no longer under the radar. Word is out, and many teachers are planning to offer it. If you’d like to stitch it with me, this is your chance to raise your hand.
You can reserve your spot today. Choose the canvas + stitch guide option on the site — your card will be authorized for the full amount, but I’ll manually change it to a non-refundable $150 deposit to hold your place. When class details are finalized, you’ll be first to know and first in line.
Let’s make this one extra special.

Not to be left out, we have a fabulous Zecca canvas, Window of Opportunity starting as a mystery in May. This one won’t be on zoom — it’s a series of kits mailed straight to your door. Each panel of this triptych fits on 12×15 bars—easy to hold, but when framed? A total showstopper. Here’s the link for this one.
