BarbB, NancyH, PatL, CindyL, & CherylM took a week-end class sponsored by Tomorrow’s Heirlooms Needlework.
This was a Shepherd's Bush class. Teri & Tina designed a rather large sampler & a cute pincushion for the event.
More pictures can be found on the Bush Blog; Cindy's Blog, Random Stitching Ramblings; and Coni's Blog Spinster Stitcher.

Thx PatL for sharing your photo! Can hardly wait to see the needlework : )
