My oldest unfinished ANG Seminar piece is from another Gail Stafford class from 2012, Tar River Trail. It is a lovely autumnal scene.

The pre-class letter says only a few stitches are used with a variety of threads. The 18 count canvas was supplied as a line drawing with some areas painted for reference. The kit has 9 Weeks Dye Works skeins of floss, 1 skein of Waterlilies, 3 skeins of Watercolours, 15 skeins of DMC Floss, 4 skeins of The Gentle Art Sampler and Simply Shaker Threads, and 3 skeins of ThreadworX floss. That’s a lot of threads.

So, this is my starting point. I left my spaghetti threads from class all this time. It still looks challenging! But I am confident that I can do it.

My first task was to transfer the canvas from the very thin bars to Evertites. Then, I reread the instructions, and now I am excited to see the scene develop.
