Desert Diamonds

I've just started a new class from the Shining Needle Society called Desert Diamonds from Lisa Willis of Stitch Elegance. I've only done the first step so far - I fluffed around for ages with the edging of the canvas and mounting it. Not sure why I put kept putting it off, but I did, so I've only just started the stitching. At least I am still stitching the current lesson - so I'm not behind yet. I'm hoping to keep up so that I can then justify joining another class I want to do with the ANG Cyberpointers chapter.
