How
to Write a Stitch Guide
with
Carole
Lake
Have you ever bought The Most Gorgeous
Painted Canvas Ever -- and then not had the foggiest idea what to do with
it? Is it so pretty you don't know where to start? Are you
desperately afraid it will only look good in basketweave? Well, this
is your class. Carole will teach you how to write a stitch guide for
your canvas, step by step, stitch by stitch. By the end of this
non-stitching class, we will have discussed stitch possibilities for dozens
of canvases, and you will be ready to confidently write your own stitch guide
for future purchases, thread selection to stitch selection.

April 6th
The
Thistle
with
Carole
Lake |
|
|
This little ornament brings Scotland
to mind! Worked on 18-count Victorian green canvas in luxurious silks,
metallics and overdyed linen, you'll work several stitches including double
cross, Velvet stitch, leave stitch, stem stitch and a border that hides a
secret cipher of Mary Queen of Scots. During the class, while students
are stitching, Carole will talk a little bit about Mary Queen of Scots, her
life, her symbols, and her tragic end.
Both of these classes will take place at
Thistle
Needleworks, and kit costs are $15 for "How to Write a Stitch
Guide" and $25 for "The Thistle" ($25 and $35 for non-members).
