Let's Get Stitching!

Amy L.

I'm just SO excited! Why?... My new class in Hand Stitching started a week ago! Today (Class #2) I got to see some of the results...which I'm sharing here. I'm already seeing individual voices in this group of eleven talented students. They are a dream class!

I put some parameters on our stitching samplers and challenges...black and white and gray. Students will stitch at least one Stitch Sampler and at least one Stitch Challenge piece from a list of challenges I've put together for each class. The end goal, is a very individual stitch book. Students are also keeping a journal so that they can "dialog" with their stitching experiences along the way.

Today's class focused on the theme of Pattern and Rhythm and "looped" stitches: Fly, Detached Chain, Chain and Buttonhole. We had a great time today playing with variations.
