This time last week I was getting ready for my classes with Jackie
du Plessis of
It's Fine-ally Finished (check out Teaching Projects). On Thursday we worked on Lady Jane's Garden (
LJG).
LJG consists of scissor fob,
needlecase,
pinkeep, and spool holder in a lined Shaker carrier. On Friday was
Thisltewood, a
needlecase with mattress
pinkeep, thimble bucket and storage areas for scrimshaw or your choice of needlework tools. On Saturday was the
grand finale,
Briar Rose
Etui (BR). BR is a uniquely shaped
etui with a thimble
pincushion and storage areas. Can you every have enough smalls? Nah!
No, I didn't finish any of my pieces but, I am continuing to work on them. I will have pictures of my progress in the following weeks. Ok the following months, as I get the stitching and finishing done. I arrived at class without all of my homework ( pre-stitching) done so I am a little behind.
I received a wonderful Floss Tag from
Pam on Thursday. This was Pam's first exchange and I am so happy that I was her partner. She stitched me a
wonderful Autumn tag and included some awesome fibers. I will have to find a design soon to try them out on.
Stay tuned............
