I am signed up to take two online classes from Elegant Stitch. This isn't the first time I have taken an online class, as I have taken one Just Nan class from a needlework store (now out of business) that was on the East Coast. That was really pretty straight forward--just lots of new specialty stitches. This will be my first attempt at any sort of class that involves finishing.
I am taking both My Bee Keeper and Catherine's Arm Chair Pin Keep! The classes for the pin keep are June 7th and 14th. I imagine it is all stitch as you go and then finishing afterwords. The Bee Keep, however, is meant as a finishing class (September 9, 14, 21, and perhaps the 28th as well). I will need to actually get all the stitching finished beforehand. I have heard that the kits for the pin keep are in the mail, and some ladies have already received theirs. I was hoping to come home from work today and find a lovely big box from ES just waiting for me! No luck...maybe tomorrow. The bee keeper kits are going to be mailed soon. I guess the designer just shipped the floss to Lois and then they will also be mailed. So here is me fidgeting, waiting for my new stash. I have been very good not ordering more than a couple of charts, so I am anxious to finally get something good in the mail!
