Signups began yesterday at French General for the Art of Craft classes in January. I am teaching this beautiful stitchbook project on Friday Jan 11 in the afternoon.

It was such fun to make, layering the textiles, stitches and bits. Everything is provided by French General. Last year's class sold out quickly so I don't want anyone to miss out. Rebecca Sower is teaching that Friday evening and there is an option for a day pass which gets both classes at a discount. Pam Garrison teaches Saturday and all the other classes are listed on the site. A weekend pass is a great option to consider as they are all fabulous. Make a weekend of it! (Kaari has a hotel and travel guide on the site page too.)
