My Stitching Album

A new collectible series featuring eight (8) beautiful patterns, each
in a different stitch manipulated in a variety of ways with assorted colors. The completed patterns are joined with a front and back cover, and this album becomes a testament to the stitchers talent. On the practical side, it also becomes a ‘Stitching Kit’ as fabric pockets on the back of each pattern page can hold treasured stitching tools. This will become a great handbook once all the patterns have been released. This 10 page finished book highlights one particular stitch per page. It is a collectible series consisting of eight new patterns which will be released one at a time bi-monthly beginning September 2008 and continuing until November 2009.


The first class will be September 27th.  It will be the Getting Started and Mosaic Muse - which includes general information and finishing instructions for the covers and the first chapter, Mosaic Muse. The cost will be $106 which includes the 2 charts, 2 thread kits and a charm.

The following months class with be between $65 and $70, depending on the thread kit.

There will also be special tools available at an additional cost to fit in the pockets the stitched pages.

The above costs does not include your fabric.

The picture is of Ming  that has been chosen for this years class with Alex.  It is very lovely and many of his former students have been bugging him to teach this piece.  I guess he got sick of us asking and agreed to teach it this year.  It has so many wonderful stitches and Alex did his  in a wonderful monotone color combination.  For those of you that are interested in taking the class the model in the shop.  Alex is out of town and I will update this when he gets home and gives me more information.
