Angela R.: Blanket Stitch Patterns- Starfish |
It's been a while since I posted about upcoming classes so I wanted to remind folks that I have a Zoom 3-session hand stitching class coming up this March called
Stitch Focus: Buttonhole/Blanket Stitch. Registration for this class is ongoing (started in December 2023). I still have spaces in all three class sections below, though the Sunday and Tuesday classes are getting closer to being full. The Wednesday evening class section needs at least four more students to run so West coast USA, Hawaii and Australia...here's an opportunity for you to help make that class a go.

MaryAnne L.: Layering lines of stitch |
So what is Stitch Focus: Buttonhole/Blanket Stitch? It's an opportunity for you to dive in deep and explore the possibilities that this stitch has to offer. We will explore the gamut from the very basics of creating different types of lines with the stitch... what I call "Stitch Analysis", learning a list of ways the stitch parts can be altered for different effects, Couching with the stitch, arranging multiple lines of stitch, building patterns with repetition and arrangement of stitched units, and coming off the surface with needle laces, edgings and dimensional versions of the stitch.

Lisa C.: Exploring patterns and pattern units |
During the 2.5 hour class sessions, we will begin Stitch Samplers to explore the above concepts. Students will keep a Stitch Journal for weekly Journal Prompts/Exercises and for planning work. I will also offer a selection of weekly Stitch Challenges for students to further explore and develop their own original works.
