Four Small Ann Wheat Pace Florals

Threads LLC in Charlottesville, Virginia is doing classes on a series of small Ann Wheat Pace florals.   You can see the third in the series here.  Once class is over, stitch guides and kits will be available for a series that emphasizes flowers and fun new threads.  I'm sorry that I couldn't find any more photos of the series, but based on how nicely this one turned out, I think folks will be interested.
