    Hello Class- We are just back from a trip, and catching up a lot with you all. What I have seen from the examples that you have posted are impressive far.
    One of you mentioned the challenge of newsprint. the reason that I chose that is to give you a chance to think in values without the “crutch” of color.

    This pattern is 800 Needlework Purse by Primitive Hare. It is on 28 ct. linen. I loved doing this old time pattern. I used instant coffee to age the linen.

    This is Aumoniere: Medieval Pouch by Primitive Hare. This is completely done in cross stitch and is my first attempt at doing gold work. It is stitched on 30 ct. linen. I made the tassels, the draw strings, and backed it and lined it with brown silk.

    I just returned from Canada where I attended the EAC seminar at Victoria University in Victoria. Wonderful seminar, organized along the same lines that we use. I took two classes: one in native bead work and one in Punto Antico. Attending the general meeting I discovered that they have the same concerns that we have in EGA.

    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.
