A Love of Christmas
Create a beautiful seasonal needle set!
Students will create a seasonal needle set that includes pin cushion, needle book and scissor fob. The center heart is complete in a Pulled Thread filling known as Chequer filling. This gives dimension to the heart. A holly, pine and berries border surround the heart. The berries and Holly leaves are complete in a way to add dimension to these shapes. Gold thread is used to complete the borders and gold beads are added as a final touch to the design.
Written lessons will be step by step, creating the outline of pieces, completing the Pulled Thread embroidery, completing the Surface embroidery and finishing the pieces. The project is completed using silk threads but a DMC alternative will be given.
