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.</p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7YUPtXMAFhIWFrk77wgqNmOCosroiLfmgPcWbzapqZaaStoMF2ixVuWQpEAOa1YjkzbXKb5BtU-lo_amEkzle0n5sKCEmIbmcFH7DWVXWYlhTU3vd8LXXGXnJ_5ILDX4yTJKMogkkAeUEMnqJ6YHoc3yiSKfgyw6e6apiL6gMky5jOgbOdeWKznKZllI/s360/Liz-Anne%20Platt%20Lesson%202%20challenge%201.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="333" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7YUPtXMAFhIWFrk77wgqNmOCosroiLfmgPcWbzapqZaaStoMF2ixVuWQpEAOa1YjkzbXKb5BtU-lo_amEkzle0n5sKCEmIbmcFH7DWVXWYlhTU3vd8LXXGXnJ_5ILDX4yTJKMogkkAeUEMnqJ6YHoc3yiSKfgyw6e6apiL6gMky5jOgbOdeWKznKZllI/w370-h400/Liz-Anne%20Platt%20Lesson%202%20challenge%201.jpeg" width="370" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Liz-Anne P.: Exploring stitching on cheesecloth<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Here is the class information.

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. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYyukHWqGSAlRr4BMn78Ap7wdjJVc7kKg50tYp3eTThABYThoNrYFZ7WiI6acRY2UkvrcD0xxddzCzK5bp9RGT8XZq3g7kp9-KAZ17yktXbKPjG04QKTdXx04weAsr7SXTlyV90PpBNiMpeYsionneZ8LDigtu_TBIrbrP5ZQt2JLbJkD_eIkLgO7wjji2/s222/Lisa%20Chin%20Lesson%202%20challenge%20crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="217" data-original-width="222" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYyukHWqGSAlRr4BMn78Ap7wdjJVc7kKg50tYp3eTThABYThoNrYFZ7WiI6acRY2UkvrcD0xxddzCzK5bp9RGT8XZq3g7kp9-KAZ17yktXbKPjG04QKTdXx04weAsr7SXTlyV90PpBNiMpeYsionneZ8LDigtu_TBIrbrP5ZQt2JLbJkD_eIkLgO7wjji2/w400-h391/Lisa%20Chin%20Lesson%202%20challenge%20crop.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lisa C.: Exploring patterns and pattern units</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>During the 2.5 hour class sessions, we will begin Stitch Samplers to explore the above concepts.

I love the idea of coaxing some new students to join the hand stitching craziness and encouraging experienced stitchers to stretch themselves even further creatively. </div><div><br /></div><div>Over the three 2.5 hour Zoom sessions, we'll not only cover stitching basics but you will learn my signature approach to creative hand stitching using journaling and stitch challenges. The class themes covered over the three weeks include: Line, Pattern and Rhythm and Texture. I demonstrate a selection of basic hand stitches that reflect the weekly theme. Learn the "correct" way and then play with the possible ways to change or combine stitches. You will keep a Stitch Journal, where you can sketch, plan stitch challenges, write down ideas for exploration, collect inspiration and generally have a "dialog" with your stitching. What I love is that even though we all start with the basics, students quickly begin to move in their own directions with stitching...finding their individual voices. For more experienced or returning stitchers, I offer a selection of more advanced stitching challenges to push you further.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe8HLplFFUwqb0NvQre2g3LIccRzg9weEiWhFhC4yq8BGyE8oxWFYshcuM36Q5Yz8XQzIOpnvxpY73mGKEtVU-BkX9sl8acWAwoYQYcf9TWU43u1f_qtxq4DfP94gQGSMFoJbbrsyszHfB1Y__mZonY3n_rdqhHQZPLhH3rkkJ5Mhs4f4eO31bH-MH1O-9/s4032/Texture%20sampler%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe8HLplFFUwqb0NvQre2g3LIccRzg9weEiWhFhC4yq8BGyE8oxWFYshcuM36Q5Yz8XQzIOpnvxpY73mGKEtVU-BkX9sl8acWAwoYQYcf9TWU43u1f_qtxq4DfP94gQGSMFoJbbrsyszHfB1Y__mZonY3n_rdqhHQZPLhH3rkkJ5Mhs4f4eO31bH-MH1O-9/w400-h300/Texture%20sampler%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Experimenting with layered textures.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />There are three class sections.

Students will use non-traditional stitches to enclose stuffed shapes; design layered stuffed appliques (what I call Off-the Base Trapunto); build multiple levels of stuffed shapes; combine stuffed shapes with cutaways; and work with sheers and non-traditional stuffing materials. In addition, students will create their own stenciled designs and hand-color commercial fabric motifs. Students will have the opportunity to further embellish their forms with stitches, beads and textural bits. <i>Minimum 5, Maximum 20 students.</i> Contact Julie for supply list. <b>Tuition: $100.</b><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR60FWlsdX_K9Poc4fGeYuZqiLsqgCZTpdGK_gTFeXaXRduR6AG5J4nWEEwAPYK52qnf9ecr3CixJt4_v5mMLM9fk12QqNk5jFcRav1wPJDlII5ZtNYMEMgA8tH_pa6IVZuFuR5HmbR4nEI3YqQy-nP5mMPACn3grPtdZKaE77tcjZhFlgszRmKDlEfQ/s1960/Finished%20trapunto%20detail%201%20embedded.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="1766" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR60FWlsdX_K9Poc4fGeYuZqiLsqgCZTpdGK_gTFeXaXRduR6AG5J4nWEEwAPYK52qnf9ecr3CixJt4_v5mMLM9fk12QqNk5jFcRav1wPJDlII5ZtNYMEMgA8tH_pa6IVZuFuR5HmbR4nEI3YqQy-nP5mMPACn3grPtdZKaE77tcjZhFlgszRmKDlEfQ/s320/Finished%20trapunto%20detail%201%20embedded.jpg" width="288" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Embedding stuffed shapes in stitching.</td></tr></tbody></table><b>Sunday Afternoon Class Section (3:00-5:30 PM EDT)</b><div>April 2 Meet and Greet (optional)</div><div>Class Sessions: April 16, 23, 30</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday Morning Class Section (10:00 AM-12:30 PM EDT)<span style="color: red;"> 2 SPACES LEFT</span></b></div><div>April 11 Meet and Greet (optional)</div><div>Class Sessions: April 18, 25, May 2</div><div><br /><div><b>Stitch Mandalas (3 hour workshop)</b></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyWBJn8a3JZUsa6sGItN2rqwYzbhIqG7f-oN7mWkRsS3YLuXooVMVYrhpco3-8oM0NWtTiFxLpXnvC2Sc4--DgjfBqK0l9fyYmTxEzShMDHHDltq2_EF-c-N9VqXT2J3FFaWdKOwGmhYmllgeB9ogj4JudTgic4Amas3-fxi9sLx_TRiHfPtK6SeLnw/s2547/VCQ%20running%20and%20straight%20sampler%202.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2547" data-original-width="2498" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyWBJn8a3JZUsa6sGItN2rqwYzbhIqG7f-oN7mWkRsS3YLuXooVMVYrhpco3-8oM0NWtTiFxLpXnvC2Sc4--DgjfBqK0l9fyYmTxEzShMDHHDltq2_EF-c-N9VqXT2J3FFaWdKOwGmhYmllgeB9ogj4JudTgic4Amas3-fxi9sLx_TRiHfPtK6SeLnw/s320/VCQ%20running%20and%20straight%20sampler%202.jpg" width="314" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Straight and Running stitches can create beautiful mandalas.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Hand stitching can be a meditative practice. <i>Mandala,</i> which means circle in the ancient language of Sanskrit, is a form often used in meditation to center and focus one's attention.

A Tuesday morning group and Wednesday evening group to hopefully cover different time zone constraints. All times are EST (I live in the Washington DC area if that helps pinpoint the time difference for you!). All class sessions will be recorded and recordings will remain available for students to view for two months after the final class session. <div><br /></div><div>There will be an optional Meet and Greet a week before the start of class so you can meet your fellow classmates, followed by three 2.5 hour class sessions.

We will focus on one stitch..the Buttonhole/Blanket stitch and explore it in depth. I'm so excited about this new class! I had the opportunity to take a deep dive into this stitch while preparing for my first <a href="https://www.textileartist.org/stitch-club-the-story-so-far/" target="_blank">TextileArtist.org Stitch Club</a> lesson. I'll admit that until I took the opportunity to study this stitch, it was not a favorite. But ...Boy when I had the chance to play with it...so many possibilities opened up for me and I realized its versatility and potential. I now want to share what I've learned with you and see what you discover too! We will explore using the stitch to create different qualities of line; building shapes and patterns, layering and coming off the surface including buttonhole laces. I can't wait!

Choose the best workshop, date and time options for you and contact me at threadborn@gmail.com. I will group you with others who have similar choices.

With the ease of posting on Instagram and Facebook, I've tended to focus my blog posts on featuring student work and upcoming workshops. Now that those are all underway for the Winter session, I thought I'd post about one of my in-progress projects. For those of you who want to follow me on a more regular basis...<b>I post nearly every day on Instagram (boothjb4757) and Facebook (Julie Basseches Booth).</b> Feel free to pop over to my feed to get almost daily posts of my work.</p><p>Marie's Medicine Bag is an ongoing project started in 2021. Marie's been very patient! I'm finally back to seriously stitching on her bag. I'm very excited about it and how she plans to use it. I'm hoping for more opportunities to create meaningful pieces such as this that will be used with a spiritual purpose in mind. This is also a collaboration...which gives it additional meaning. Marie beaded around the amazing Sonoran stone that will be the centerpiece of the bag. She wants the beaded stone piece to be removable so it can also be used as pendant. That required a bit of brainstorming and the Sonoran had to travel back and forth in order to receive a beaded bail that would fit through a slit in front flap.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHlEZcvcDe1iAMps88pdysv6iAgSKPem6JnVtNTPbyrRe_k_QnYVb1jqDznSnbP1hyc-2fVqCStRPrK90JjOfDP3V0OODnzOfaolCp9tkRoVhmdLFNFrBvYUPQoPMnqohyoWjy4_4pRWMg_6GUCW7O-idJKxM8-JmSw2BMt4EPMnAcnF4eAwzoGsaXiQ=s3056" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHlEZcvcDe1iAMps88pdysv6iAgSKPem6JnVtNTPbyrRe_k_QnYVb1jqDznSnbP1hyc-2fVqCStRPrK90JjOfDP3V0OODnzOfaolCp9tkRoVhmdLFNFrBvYUPQoPMnqohyoWjy4_4pRWMg_6GUCW7O-idJKxM8-JmSw2BMt4EPMnAcnF4eAwzoGsaXiQ=s320" width="317" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's a mock-up sample that I made of the front flap so that Marie could create the bail to fit.<br /><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>The bag went through two design iterations... another part of the collaboration.

Challenges focus on how these memories can be expressed in words using a selection of stitching techniques. The result is a series of expressive artworks reflecting student's memories.

I take a very experimental approach to basic hand stitches exploring their immense potential. Each week, the class will focus on a different theme. Students will learn stitches related to that theme. Students will create a stitch sampler during class time followed by homework, including journal prompts and a choice of interesting stitching challenges as a way to stretch creatively.

Most recently, I offered a Stitch Play assignment to <a href="http://TextileArtist.org">TextileArtist.org</a>'s Stitch Club. Each week, students will be challenged to play a stitching "game" that will push them out of their stitching comfort zone. Some will be games of chance, others will be following a set of proscribed instructions, some will involve word play. This is for students of all stitching levels. The class starts on June 2 from 10:00 AM- 12:30 PM (Eastern USA time). It will run for five consecutive Wednesdays.

In this workshop, students spend the day in meditative stitching, creating a series of Stitch Mandalas. Julie will teach variations of a select number of basic embroidery stitches that can be worked within a circular format with beautiful results. Stitches covered will include variations of: Running, Blanket/Buttonhole, Straight and Couching stitches and needle woven Spider's Webs. Students will create a series of samplers featuring their Stitch Mandalas.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>FABRIC STASH CLOTH BOOK</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRbqRpIPe8fduhzo2cmUw_SmlEHS4c9KNYYF0-TszOBsCS_6crX-c1jDKbOPRevsWSgrT44X9w3L9iyfl4uFTMlGEStWpLFwFXqvQysrp9AbhyMcBqpVAO7ciTKzAtiycqxu10eyr9QGwd/s2048/Fabric+stash+book.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1729" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRbqRpIPe8fduhzo2cmUw_SmlEHS4c9KNYYF0-TszOBsCS_6crX-c1jDKbOPRevsWSgrT44X9w3L9iyfl4uFTMlGEStWpLFwFXqvQysrp9AbhyMcBqpVAO7ciTKzAtiycqxu10eyr9QGwd/w338-h400/Fabric+stash+book.jpg" width="338" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fabric Stash Cloth Books showing multi-layered covers.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />This project was originally inspired by a small swatch book of Japanese fabrics.

In this class, we continue to explore hand stitches...this time focusing on dimensional (often composite) stitches including needle weaving and buttonhole laces as well as using stitches to manipulate fabric to create dimensional effects. We also covered a variety of techniques to create stuffed forms. We used Nature as our muse throughout the class. I'm excited to show you the work produced during this three session version of the class. This is the first of three posts of student work. I also want to let you know that I will be teaching a five session version through the school starting on January 27. For more information about that class please go <i><a href="https://www.theartleague.org/shop/class/hand-stitching-continued-dimensional-stitches-and-fabric-manipulation/">here</a>. </i>If you have questions about the January class, please feel free to leave a comment here.</p><p>_______</p><p>Before the class started, I asked students to find a muse or muses from Nature that they wanted to explore using stitch and fabric manipulation. A muse could be an actual physical object from nature, or photographs of natural objects or landscapes. Even related topics such as circular forms or concepts such as "unfurling" were explored.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDNwf_x7wvYFTBgV7kG91Y_zcCqp9ZHOGLK-k1vMJUPSNhGTmtTrqDxbO4nRogItjYyFGnG_bqFDJIszsT0EotTIiKciz3QhLiKkJ8ZW1tbynT3KhyphenhyphenV8_5sQzUA67JIHutB11VxaLh2lS/s915/Barbara+Bitondo+samplers+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="915" data-original-width="515" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDNwf_x7wvYFTBgV7kG91Y_zcCqp9ZHOGLK-k1vMJUPSNhGTmtTrqDxbO4nRogItjYyFGnG_bqFDJIszsT0EotTIiKciz3QhLiKkJ8ZW1tbynT3KhyphenhyphenV8_5sQzUA67JIHutB11VxaLh2lS/w360-h640/Barbara+Bitondo+samplers+1.png" width="360" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Barbara B.: Exploring circular forms.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Our first class covered dimensional stitches including varieties of needle weaving and buttonhole laces.

I will be teaching it again during the Winter session starting on January 27 for five consecutive Wednesday mornings (10:00 am-12:30 pm USA Eastern Standard Time).</p><p>In the fourth session, I covered a number of dimensional techniques including Cording, Stuffing/Trapunto and Felt letters. I also suggested that students begin to think about a larger, more long term assignment that would involve stitching a letter (correspondence), recipe, list, poem or memento and to think about alternative ground fabrics such as vintage linens or clothing. I hope to see more results as students continue to work on projects.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwfNdpo50oW09HfU0a_h3OdxMZnHoPYSCbXYGFgW-NHb5Eg-8BvEXovfWztgaA0UNszygSFvBzJBS465HTAS8GzdDehj3aqNOlTlwZIwP8fZtAb6l7QxHWRaJobGOMR5KdOd4n4SbTZo1R/s788/Jill+Blanchette+HOW+WHO.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="788" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwfNdpo50oW09HfU0a_h3OdxMZnHoPYSCbXYGFgW-NHb5Eg-8BvEXovfWztgaA0UNszygSFvBzJBS465HTAS8GzdDehj3aqNOlTlwZIwP8fZtAb6l7QxHWRaJobGOMR5KdOd4n4SbTZo1R/w400-h396/Jill+Blanchette+HOW+WHO.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jill B.: "How/Who?": Off the Surface Trapunto<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3UutCasHouH94tk-dX7REqM2e_Xi7s6XpE3HaiDwU22Gniakyj6YHQL1-z3p0oR-PYL1CkLxs7YEVxOYB04-XIWKwRbCW2CGfTUkUAJMD5S360PFEzIffbXazsJ7pvHcRyAfWg5m1PZ0/s1040/Jill+Blanchette+cording+samplers.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="1040" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3UutCasHouH94tk-dX7REqM2e_Xi7s6XpE3HaiDwU22Gniakyj6YHQL1-z3p0oR-PYL1CkLxs7YEVxOYB04-XIWKwRbCW2CGfTUkUAJMD5S360PFEzIffbXazsJ7pvHcRyAfWg5m1PZ0/w400-h300/Jill+Blanchette+cording+samplers.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jill B.: Cording and Trapunto samplers<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkq7g7evsEh5wPQhJ4pigllC_ZLjgM6Ikvla-CtFGoktmEwNQbdLp0_sDN9avo0_-e5jbc_U58n_lxtmMUXZJsPHwCCVrUIgdGjjXmLZPYjGJGxPKpL2DDtezCL2-NDiY_ypBGCBCpWfD/s780/Roberta+Abel+Memory+Map+Groceries+WK+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="585" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkq7g7evsEh5wPQhJ4pigllC_ZLjgM6Ikvla-CtFGoktmEwNQbdLp0_sDN9avo0_-e5jbc_U58n_lxtmMUXZJsPHwCCVrUIgdGjjXmLZPYjGJGxPKpL2DDtezCL2-NDiY_ypBGCBCpWfD/w300-h400/Roberta+Abel+Memory+Map+Groceries+WK+4.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Roberta A.: Planning a larger project: The Grocery List<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_2H2uvdf7tIlcVRQsy-GUn0t7nhLjR1FzIjRBfZKPSwH1nyfJlD1XW9A9p-EwRVe7JZUcECSiONa1rvcpQ_HSZhhyphenhyphenQy-R43Y2BHbiNcLVVmyvn0C2uFKE7_W72smYw4oQWJ7t87BoIyQq/s320/Judy+Pearson+haikus+for+Anna.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_2H2uvdf7tIlcVRQsy-GUn0t7nhLjR1FzIjRBfZKPSwH1nyfJlD1XW9A9p-EwRVe7JZUcECSiONa1rvcpQ_HSZhhyphenhyphenQy-R43Y2BHbiNcLVVmyvn0C2uFKE7_W72smYw4oQWJ7t87BoIyQq/w400-h400/Judy+Pearson+haikus+for+Anna.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Judy P.: A series of Haikus for her youngest granddaughter, Anne.

Discussion focused on the concepts of Actual Texture (texture you can touch) versus Visual Texture (the representation of texture using marks) in art. Marks made with hand stitching can cover both categories as seen above in Jude J.'s piece. The marks created with stitch are representative of a nest or fur (visually) but one could also feel the actual texture of the raised stitches on the fabric's surface.</div></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvAPDCP4wNrHnlIEQbryjTuoILSaANhu87Q75-ucz0mGmZLJC_2fUpgbhKSgMyEcsisDJ938I1X5nqFuCtKRa-vzIPCTCKtIa79dRvGZsHdzo5AI9JYz3O36CddkjWjWTpB_mUBQIsU1B/s915/Barbara+Bitondo+stitch+sampler.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="915" data-original-width="915" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvAPDCP4wNrHnlIEQbryjTuoILSaANhu87Q75-ucz0mGmZLJC_2fUpgbhKSgMyEcsisDJ938I1X5nqFuCtKRa-vzIPCTCKtIa79dRvGZsHdzo5AI9JYz3O36CddkjWjWTpB_mUBQIsU1B/w328-h328/Barbara+Bitondo+stitch+sampler.png" width="328" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Barbara B.

The focus of this lesson was Pattern and Rhythm. We had some discussion about the definitions of Pattern and Rhythm. One definition -- Patterns in Nature-- focused on patterns as "organizing structures", including: symmetry, branching, meanders, waves, mosaics/cellular, spirals, fractals, spheres, polyhedra, and lattices. This became one of the possible jumping off points for the Journal Prompt and Stitch Challenge for this lesson. The stitches we covered were all looped stitches.</div><div>

Sometimes circumstances give you that little extra push (or kick in the you know what!) you need to try something new. When things started shutting down here in Virginia back in March, I figured that was going to be it for me for classes. <a href="https://www.theartleague.org/classes/">The school </a>where I often teach was trying to work out some version of socially distanced in-person classes. The protocol seemed overwhelming. I could already imagine that other teaching opportunities such as The Textile Museum Muse Project class would be postponed indefinitely. And with retail shops starting to shut down-- my teaching gigs at local places such at <a href="https://www.artisticartifacts.com/">Artistic Artifacts</a> were also vanishing.<br />

Well thank goodness for Zoom. Who knew that it would become such an integral part of everyday living! And who knew that using it would finally give me the confidence and opportunity to move to online teaching....something I'd thought about for years.<br />

My beginning Hand Stitching class at <a href="https://www.theartleague.org/classes/">The Art League School</a> made a quick transition to online. A very seat-of-the-pants operation to start. I set up shop on Google Classroom so that students would have the opportunity to show their work and interact. It was also where I could add links, material and recordings. By the end of five weeks, I had the mechanics down!<br />

I also had one other thing down. Something I wasn't sure I was going to be able to pull off...fostering a sense of community. I encouraged the 18 students from all across the US plus Canada and even Japan..to post their works in progress and to leave comments. I put together weekly Power Points of their assignments. And gradually I could see a community starting to gel with respect and appreciation for each others' work.<br />

The stitched work that emerged from this class will be the subject of the next few posts. My approach to hand stitching is very experimental. I enjoy exploring the types of marks and patterns basic embroidery stitches can make by changing just a few basic elements. I limit the size and color palette of students' work to encourage looking at the stitches as marks and not as making "pretty pictures".<br />

I divided the class sessions into themes: Line, Pattern and Rhythm, Texture and Layers. I chose stitches and stitch techniques that I felt reflected the themes. I also gave weekly Journal Prompts and encouraged the use of a journal to continue a "dialog" with one's stitching. I provided students with a choice of Stitch Challenges that focused on some aspect of the weekly theme and the stitches. I encouraged students to keep exploring on their own just to see what they could discover.<br />

These next posts will follow the class themes and will feature a selection of Stitch Samplers, Journal Prompts and Stitch Challenges. My hope is that you might consider picking up needle, thread and fabric and take a "stab" at hand stitching too!<br />
