    I have a question about the transition from the waffle stitch to the 8 pointed star. Because this is a new stitch to me, I took scrap fabric and I stitched the star so I was sure I understood the pattern before I began working it on my actual design. According to the diagram for the waffle stitch, the starting point for the 8 point star is…[Read more]

      I have looked at your star and my chart. I see the up 3 and up 4. The points of the star match up with the diagonals and the vertical and horizontal basting. Is there a chance that your diagonal basting is off a bit. Otherwise I can’t explain it. As your points match up with your basting and my points matched up with my basting. I think you…[Read more]

      I thought I had the waffle correct and everything else seemed to come out correctly. I think what I’ll do is try working it again and see if I get the same result I must have done something wrong. Thanks, Lorene!

    I have competed the first layer and covered or affixed the folded edges. I found it interesting to see what happens to the different color threads when stitched. I see the need to either emphasize or de-emphasize colors so everything blends.
    I’m using a variety of fibers. Twisted silk and rayon work well with the perle cotton. Stranded floss d…[Read more]

    On Labor Day I finished my first stumpwork project, “Forest Floor” by Kay Dennis (from issue 104 of Inspirations magazine). It was a lot of fun, with a wide variety of techniques. (Needlelace, needle weaving, beads, etc.)

    This is a very three-dimensional piece, somewhat difficult to capture in a still image.

      I should note that the design is available for purchase in PDF format and last I checked the kits are still available too.
