Stitcher's comments:

It was such a joy to take a class from Jody. This in fact was a pilot class held in Riverside County, California, and it was such a fun project. I have done some of her other classes, at Seminar and classes she has taught for southern California chapters.

There were some deviations from the original class piece, such as the addition of the cactus on the right-hand side (growing out of the padded pot), the kitty on the bench and the cross above the door. The bell and door knobs were contributed by my friend Liz Lennert and the handmade chili peppers were found while I was at the 2002 National Seminar in New Mexico.
