Beauty In Simplicity Oval Shaker Box

I am putting the finishing touches on the class I am teaching for the first New England Stitching Retreat...and I am getting more excited, as I fly out next week. It will be my first trip to New England and I am looking forward to visiting a new area of the United States. The class materials are just about ready to ship...and I have finally received the gorgeous hand-crafted Shaker Box and mounted the needlework in the lid. I am thrilled to share a photo of the finished box with you!

























This class design is titled "Beauty In Simplicity" and includes charting and instructions for the Shaker box and three matching needlework smalls...and those taking the class are getting the lovely oval box (it truly is gorgeous!). For those of you taking this special class, I can't wait to meet you...and for those unable to attend, but interested in the project; you will need to be patient, as it will be at least one year before this design is released to the public. For more information on this unique retreat, visit: http://www.stitchingretreat.com/ ....I believe there are still a few seats available...

  1. It's absolutely georgeous!! I so wish I could attend - I love all things Shaker and have visited a few of the villages. But due to family scheduling and needs, the project will have to be on my wish list for when it it available to all.
