| Description of Project: | In this stitching and brainstorming class, we will make a notebook of samples of various stitches perfect for foliage and flowers, including a variety of leaf variations, eyelet stitches, double stitch, crossed variations and more. Twenty-four stitches will be worked in class, but the book will contain many more variations for further experimentation. We will discuss naturalistic, whimsical and abstract shading to create realistic effects. Varying stitches and threads will create dozens of alternatives for every situation discussed. Both solid and open canvas variations will be covered. Show and tell is an integral part of this class. | |
