    I took Deborah Mitek’s class “Summer’s End” at the Pacific Southwest Region seminar in Las Vegas. Well, obviously I really enjoyed that class because yesterday I finished it, only a week-after getting back from Vegas! 😃 It’s my first time using silk ribbon and it makes some great flower petals.

    This is the first of twenty pieces I’m doing for a stumpwork double casket. (The four seasons double casket by Tricia Wilson Nguyen of Thistle Threads.) This will end up on the inside of the right-hand door.

    • Profile picture of Tim Buchheim
      Tim Buchheim replied 1 year, 3 months ago

      Well, something had to go on the inside. There are another 18 panels on the outside. Those will be needlelace and other common stumpwork techniques. I think Tricia decided to put the silk-wrapped purl designs on the inside to help protect them; if the purls are snagged they can easily be bent out of shape.

    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 started this Eileen Bennett Flax sampler probably 25 years ago when my chapter had her come teach for us. Put it away and then, when EGA offered it as an online class, I was inspired to finish it. I really enjoyed finishing it and kept thinking, “Why did I put this away for so long?!” I am so glad to be able to say, “Ta-DAH!”

    Finally Finished this one! I began it several years ago and put it away. I decided this year was the year to finish it. It’s called Williamsburg Virginia Christmas and, even though I don’t particularly like blackwork, I had to do it because Williamsburg and Christmas are two of my favorite things.

        Irony. Vera, I started this project earlier in January. I’ve finished the embroidery for the doll; today, started the companion trunk. Assembly of both to follow. When the designs came out in 2012, Needle in a Haystack in Alameda,CA, kitted up the two pieces. Love the colors.

          Are you going to make the tray and pincushion that go in the trunk? Guilia made the instructions for making them free on her website puntiantichi.com. I haven’t decided whether to make the trunk and I don’t remember what fabric I used for her skirt so that I could make them the same.
