Ruth posted progress photos from the class so you can get some idea of the finished designs.

Most of the canvases are those that Ruth distributes, but regardless, if you want to stitch one of these charmers, talk to Ruth about picking up the stitch guide, the thread kit, and/or the canvas.

One Stop Stitch Guide Shopping (The Needleart Nut) UPDATED

Pat Miller (whom you know from her Needleart Nut blog) has had a busy summer writing stitch guides.  The following four were custom guides, written by Pat who kindly kitted out the designs for her customers.  Now they are available to the general public.  Contact Pat to pick up the guides only, or to ask her to assemble a thread kit for you, too.  The first guide is for Denise's "Be Mine" heart.  Pat changed the colors pre her customer's request to make this a red hot Valentine project.

UPDATE:  It is fabulous stitched!

Because these are customs, Pat hasn't stitch them.  Therefore there isn't a model, but trust me--Pat's special talent is coming up with easy stitches in lovely threads that look fabulous when stitched.
