Class Length: 1 day
Proficiency Level: Intermediate
Size: 3" x 6" ornament worked on an 8" x 8" piece of canvas
Class Description: This little ornament brings Scotland to mind! Worked on 18-count Victorian green canvas in luxurious silks, metallics and overdyed linen, you'll work several stitches including double cross, Velvet stitch, leave stitch, stem stitch and a border that hides a secret cipher of Mary Queen of Scots.

During the class, while students are stitching, I'll talk a little bit about Mary Queen of Scots, her life, her symbols, her tragic end.

Kit Cost: $25, includes all materials necessary to stitch the ornament. Finishing materials are not included.
Student to Supply: 8" x 8" stretcher bars
