    I’m all done except for the row of hem stitching. I’m not sure I have the Pebble Filling Stitch in the right place. I counted up 8 threads from the North position. That leaves me with 6 threads between the North position and the bottom of the pebble filling stitch. From what I can see from the photo the hem stitching should be in the six…[Read more]

    Fox Valley (Wisconsin) hosted Terry Bay’s Illusion Class. I completed my piece in just under two weeks. The technique is Ukrainian whitework. This piece was challenging, but Terry made it enjoyable and manageable. The piece was almost half done at the end of the two-day class.

      Thank you for your very nice comments! I tried to make this class on-line as I would teach it in person. I love to talk sampler, their history and the history of stitches as I know it. (I’m always learning as well.) Hopefully, our paths will cross one day soon.

    Rand, could you blow up the picture of the acorn? When I get it big enough to see detail, it\’s blurry. I need all the help I can get on the top part of the acorn.

    Hi, Elaine! Question on block 12. When you say a firm tension, do you mean tight enough to see a slight separation of threads, but not pulled enough to make a hole? With no separation of threads I can hardly see the stitches.

    I am posting my progress through block 16. I realize that blocks 15 and 16 are reversed, but I decided that I prefer the blocks on the right edge to be all the same size,so I left the mistake. I do wonder if I am pulling the threads tight enough? Any comments will be appreciated.
