Ornaments
with Judie Solomon
Our meeting this month will be held at
Thistle
Needleworks. Judie will teach a counted piece, the Danish
Star Ornament, in the morning and a canvas piece, Top Hat
Snowman, in the afternoon. You may choose to stitch one or
both on your registration form. Information describing each ornament
follows:
Danish Star Ornament
Using ecru perle cotton on gold-flecked 25-count
Lugana fabric with satin stitch, cable stitch, and buttonhole stitch, we
will work on a self-finishing ornament. It will also be available in
Watercolors and Wildflowers green and red threads on the same Lugana fabric.
Don't want/need an ornament? Then add some potpourri to the filling
for a lovely sachet.
Participants should bring embroidery scissors and
magnification, if needed.
Complete kit -- $7.50
Top Hat Snowman
Using a variety of specialty threads, beads, and
stitches on a lightly painted (by our own Susan Jones) winter sky grey
18-mesh canvas, we will build a snowman -- sorry, no meadow
included. Your 3" square design could be finished as an ornament, doorknob
hanger, or boxtop.
Participants should bring 6" x 6" stretcher bars
and tacks, embroidery scissors, and magnification, if needed.
Complete kit: $20.00
