Diligence Casket Keepsakes Online Tutorial

The Diligence Casket Keepsakes Online Tutorial offers countless learning opportunities while completing three unique and beautiful Keepsakes. The Tutorial includes all of the materials (see materials kit listed below) and instructions (through access to the Tutorial Website) needed to complete the project.

A uniquely assigned username and password will be emailed enabling access to the Tutorial Website.  After logging in, you may print a black&white PDF document containing stitch diagrams and instructions for easy reference.  These instructions will direct you to the online lessons found on the Tutorial Website, which contain step-by-step photos and instructions to guide you through the complete project. The Online Tutorial will provide you with a virtual hands-on experience of participating in a needlework class. For those who wish to print some or all of the color photos from the website, downloadable PDFs for all of the lessons in the Tutorial will also be available. There is a Journal on the Tutorial Website, where I will post notes on my inspirations for the design, supplementary historical information related to the project and answer student questions. Submit photos of both your work in progress and finished pieces, and I will post them in the Photograph Album.
 

The Tutorial can be done at your own pace. The Tutorial Lessons will be available on the Website for a minimum of two years, and longer if needed. You will be notified well in advance of the Tutorial Lessons being removed from the site, allowing plenty of time to print anything you may need for future reference.
