Box Finishing Class

My friend Meari is teaching a Box Finishing Class for the I Love Cross Stitch yahoo group members that want to participate. I have started my stitched piece and have the box. I still have to find trim and fabric for the project. Meari does the most beautiful work!! Examples of her finished boxes can be seen here.

The piece I chose is "P" is for Princess by the Sweetheart Tree. I either received this gift as a birthday gift in the ILCS Birthday Club or used some gift certificates I received to purchase it.
