Course Type, Length, and Start Date 

Project and Technique

I am recovering from a hand injury and so new 2025 courses are dependent on recovery speed.  

 If you want to get first notice that this class is registering, sign up on the interest page.

Course Overview

This project features a tent stitch worked casket based on the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—with the top design depicting a man and woman. Two top designs will be provided, but only one will be stitched for the sample. The casket will be worked on a 24-count ground fabric using silk thread in tent stitch, with a look similar to the Five Senses Double Casket. The background and ground will be fully stitched in silk, creating a rich, textured effect.

The course will be sold as a full project class, including both the casket and finishing materials. The exact number of available spots is still to be determined, as the remaining 80 caskets will be split between this course and the Frosted Silk Purl Floral Casket, depending on interest and material availability.

You can follow the progress of this casket on the YouTube channel Thistle Threads with Tricia Wilson Nguyen, where I’ll be sharing updates as the piece comes together.

Course Flexibility

At Thistle Threads, we understand that life’s commitments can make it difficult to focus on a course every month. That’s why my courses are designed to be self-paced, allowing you to learn at your own rhythm. You can take breaks when needed, and the course material will remain available to you, often serving as a valuable reference for future projects once completed.

Course Access and Delivery

Upon the start date of the course, you’ll receive a username and password to access my teaching site on the Thinkific platform. Logging in will immediately give you access to the first lesson, ready for download. Course materials will primarily be provided in PDF format, but may also include additional resources like videos and stitch animations.

Once the course is completed, you’ll receive access to non-public YouTube playlists, where videos will be available for future reference and continued learning.

Access Timeframe

Course materials must be downloaded within three months of the course's conclusion. During the course, all lessons—including new ones and previously released content—will be accessible. So, if you’re unable to log in during a month, you can always catch up by reviewing any missed lessons at your own pace.

Prerequisites

A love of cross stitch is the only requirement.
