Hand Stitching: Pattern, and Texture Beginnings


Kate G.: Challenge using commercial fabric as a jumping off point.

This past week in Hand Stitching, we started in on Texture. We talked about actual texture versus visual texture. We worked on some stitches that could be used for "seeding" as well as composite stitches.

  1. I wish I lived nearby so I could join your hand stitching class! I will try and follow along online! This summer I am taking some hand stitching classes at Quilters Affair in Sisters Oregon.

    1. Hi Claudia- Thanks for commenting! Happy to hear that you are enjoying the posts and that you will have the opportunity to do some hand stitching over the summer. I just love hand stitching...I think you have a closer connection to your project and it can be very meditative.
