Sunday Afternoon Musings ~

Good Sunday afternoon friends & folk ~

it is a muggy day here at the farm…

…just staying indoors 

and working on the finish for the

 CLASS PROJECT 

that I mentioned in my last post.

as I mentioned, it will be in October ~

Saturday, October 18th to be exact!!

the project is a 'Thimble Coffin'

something I have been wanting to make but needed to tweak a bit ~

I am hoping to finish this by this evening, then I can share the completed project photos for you to see.

in the meantime, this is where I am with it:

the stitched portion will be on a box lid…
the design is not too involved, but it is stitched on 32ct Old Farmhouse Linen from ©Notforgotten Farm

the box will be covered in cotton fabric ~ 

{haven't decided which one to use just yet though…}

and the inside of the lid will be lined with antique book or ledger paper.

..inside the bottom portion of the box will have a safe place to rest your thimble…

and I will use this most-beautiful pumpkin colored hand dyed velvet {below} inside the bottom.

~ gorgeous hand dyed velvet ~

 The Students who sign up for this class will receive a small kit in the mail ahead of time, 

so you can stitch the cross stitched portion…

then you will bring that to the class with you on October 18th ~

...we will put the box together at the class, and also finish a small pumpkin emery as well ~

the CLASS FEE is $45.00 per student ~

that covers the kit + shipping (pattern, linen, threads)

and all of the supplies you need to finish the class project 

...once you get here on the 18th of October :)

we will also serve refreshments at the class, drinks and light snacks ~

but if you want to bring a bag lunch or water with you that is fine too :)

If you are interested in taking the class,

please EMAIL ME {not4got@aol.com}

there is limited space available for only 8 students

(Peter seems to think we can squeeze in two more ~ I need a bigger shop!)

first to email, first served will announce here when class is full ~

photos of the class finish will be posted here soon ~ maybe this evening!

Thanks my friends ~

* Blessed be *
