All the students worked with ribbons, couched yarns and layering of fabrics along with embossing on velvet. I just love the way our hand dyed velvets give such texture to the wool pieces. I am so fortunate to have a great sister how dyes about 50 different colors for me.
I also taught many stitches using hand dyed perle cotton. I am always surprised what wonderful dimension this gives to each piece.
We also used seed beads to enhance our leaves and flowers.
The fun part about this class is that each piece is unique.
At the end of the day I was treated to a meal over looking the ocean. What a special place! Thanks everyone for being so kind. I had a wonderful time.Keep stitching
Thank you so much for give us the stichery and quilting vitamins. You even stimulate on a big distance. Greetings from the Netherlands

ReplyDeleteso: ditto.
What a wonderful class and beautiful place to be.
ReplyDeleteI noticed there were pieces that were stitched, and then embellished on the edges. I was wondering about that with mine, I usually whipstitch the pieces and then wish they had more on the edges, so I guess it is ok to add after.
