Marilyn Vredevelt, founder and president of Stoney Creek Collection, Inc., learned how to stitch from her mother and grandmother as a young girl. In 1979, Marilyn began her "career" in needlework by owning and operating a retail needlework store. In 1984, she published Stoney Creek's first cross stitch books. While Marilyn has received many prestigious awards and accolades, her greatest joy comes from teaching and sharing the joy of needleart with others. She has been instrumental in launching and developing the Stitching Festivals. Check back soon for three more classes from Marilyn!

Crystal Lattice Bracelet
Beautiful Czech Crystals are the focal point of this piece. It takes three steps to create the bracelet. The pattern is a series of beaded circles using glistening silver seed beads. A 6mm crystal is then strung into the center of each circle. Finally the bracelet is accented with 4mm crystals along each side. Each bracelet is measured for custom fit. The width of the bracelet is 1 inch. There will be different color choices.
