I love this teacher! Toni Gerdes is the perfect teacher for me at my current level of stitching. She is extraordinarily patient and builds confidence. She is able to appeal to all levels of stitchers. I highly recommend her. Today we completed the outlining. The stitches all go within the outline. We started to fill in some of the points. We used a two layered stitch using a grid and woven stitch. We also used some Smyrna crosses, This looks like a design that I might actually finish, hopefully sooner rather than later. I hope to be able to take other classes from Toni one day.

The day was complete with good company, seeing the current teaching projects of many of the teachers followed by a wonderful dinner at the Croissant restaurant. A delicious meal with great music and lively dinner companions.
