Back To The Beach – Girls Reunited by Sandy Arthur
Lots of fun stitches like applique, trapunto, needle weaving, padded and other dimensional stitches. Great threads used include Planet Earth, Kreinik, Splendor Silk, Sea Grass, Wisper, Ribbon, Linen, Burmilana, overdyed floss, and more. Embellishments include buttons and beads.
The 14 ct. monocanvas is line drawn and 14” x 16”. The applique canvas is 6”x6”. The design area is approximately 11.5” x 13”. The design works up quickly and is fun to work through each technique.
EGA – TVA –> JUNE 24 – 26, 2016
THE MARRIOTT HOTEL
HUNTSVILLE, ALPUMPKIN SPICED TEA – 2 DAYS
This fast-paced Autumnal design incorporates dimensional stumpwork and needle felting techniques. Needle felting is done directly on the canvas using silk roving as one technique. A second technique involves creating separate leaves felted on a separate piece of canvas structured with DMC memory thread and then added to the foundation canvas after felting is completed. Single- and multi-needle methods will be taught.
Pumpkin Spiced Tea
Dimensional vines are created by separating and covering cotton cording. The cording is manipulated as it is covered and laid across the bottom area of the teapot.
Framing borders are created with a bargello wave variation and a leaf variation coming together at corners created with layered stitches.
ANG NATIONAL SEMINAR –> AUG 30 – SEPT 3 , 2016
DALLAS, TX
NEEDLE FELTING ON NEEDLEWORK
Add a new dimension to needlework through felting.
Needle Felting on Needlework
Learn how to evaluate the design, progression of steps, pitfalls to avoid, and how to achieve certain looks – smooth? fluffy? Shared tools will introduce you to the different types available for use. You will be guided through the proper use of these tools so you can determine what works best for you and help you choose the techniques to utilize on your needlework project. A small cat will assist you to see the results that can be achieved through this simple, fast technique. Students will have various cat colors from which to choose. You will be hooked!
