Narrative: Painters suggested that Mary teach one of JoSonja's brides boxes and this one received the most votes. Mary is an experienced teacher and designer who teaches locally, travels, and at conventions. I have asked her to teach this JoSonja design, and because it is a nine-hour class, you should complete it. What a fantastic piece to display for Christmas! This is definitely an heirloom piece.
