Teaching at Celebration of Needlework

I just got back from Celebration of Needlework and had a wonderful time teacing. Everyone was great and I can't wait to go back. I did have many of my students tell me that they loved my designs and my classes were great. I also had one of my students that brought in the Thistle Purse and the Antebellum Sewing Kit. She told me that my instructions were great and she did not have any problems in the construction. They looked perfect and she even put her own touches to her kits. I encourage in doing that and make the kit your own and put on your own touches, use some of your own antique items or buttons. I have also posted my newest design that I will be teaching soon I hope.
