Marianne Thompson Barnes has turned in her last class and I might require her teaching me this one as her " bedroom" fee at my house. Love this basket !!!

Wooohooo....Marianne Marianne Thompson Barnes has submitted 2 of her classes. She has a weaving class that she is still finishing up before submitting but in the meantime I wanted to get these 2 up. One is a carving class and one is a vinyl resist class.

Y'all we are really getting in a great line up of classes. These 2 burning and carving classes are being taught by Deb White. This is her first time out teaching and I am excited she is doing it at the MGG.
