Hello! We have today, tomorrow and Tuesday to try and finish up our Diamond Eyelets and satin stitches. On Wednesday we will start with the first of the two extra stitches that I used on my Practice Pineapple model. These next two stitches are optional and are not found on my framed model. Keep stitching and enjoy your day!

Hello Students, I am attaching another example of Pulled Thread work. Here you have examples of Pulled Thread, satin stitches and counted thread stitches. It is an adaptation of an Eileen Bennett design. I hope your satin stitches are going well!

Hello! I am glad that you all enjoyed seeing the Morning Glories piece. It is a very interesting design and is truly beautiful. I will admit that it was difficult! Adding to the difficulty was the fact that Ilse Altherr is a very tough critic – she wouldn’t mind me saying so. I always say that she takes no prisoners – ha! Thanks to her…[Read more]

New awareness (for me) of the Great Lakes Region and newsletter from the Director, Wendy Lynn!

Hello Students! Here in the USA it is our Independence Day Holiday, may you enjoy the day! Did you all see Marnie\’s gold pineapple eyelets? Are any of you also using colors other than the traditional white on white? Please share and inspire us!

Terry……Is there a reason you do not come up in an empty hole & go down in a full hole, whenever possible. Do you secure threads as you stitch when long spans are involved?

I just spent a delightful 2 hours getting the first band stitched. I’m very pleased with the results. I was very insecure getting the first set of triangles positioned on the canvas. I did okay with the first set but had to restrict the second set. Hopefully, that will get better with each band.

How do you lg out?

Hello,

Best,
Pat
