Noah's Christmas Ark II: $38 - includes linen, backing silk satin, seed beads, and all threads used - a mix of Surfine, Accentuate, Bijoux, 100/3, and Gobelins for a perfect silk taster, and a fabulous sparkle prim tiny treasure. My personal favorite of the kits!
Cardinal Kin: Sold out, but I am working on getting these back into stock in future - full details on my next flosstube. I have opened a waiting list, which you can sign up for here: katie-strachan.com/kin
Those on the waiting list will have an early window to buy the next round of Cardinal Kin kits, please sign up if you are interested as it will help me better gauge demand.
The kits are limited availability

It is a 9 month, online class beginning January 1, 2024 and includes all materials. Full details can be found at katie-strachan.com/pyn-pillow but the class covers the making and stitching of this piece in detail, and can be successfully stitched by a motivated beginner. The lessons are comprehensive and do not assume prior embroidery knowledge - everything from how to start and stop your thread, handle specialty materials like GST, and the finer points of shading with long and short stitch are covered.
Class kits will ship once your class fees have been paid in full. The class is entirely work at your own pace, with one lesson posted every month. The lessons are full color, illustrated PDF downloads with extensive photos, diagrams, and video supplements where useful.
