“Get Your Stitch Fix” Workshop 2022
SOLD OUT!
This event has passed.
Description:
In Sue’s workshop you will challenge yourself to combine two different fiber art forms in one project. She will show you how to incorporate appliqué and rug hooking into a one-of-a-kind, whimsical pin cushion.
Sue will teach a number of creative stitches that she learned while studying under internationally known Sue Spargo, embroidery artist and designer. These stitches will add a beautiful touch of handwork to your project. Some stitches include: bullions, drizzle, double cast on, fly, chain and detached chain, French knots, colonial knots, and more, as many as time permits. She will also discuss her thread preferences and resources.
After adding a wonderful assortment of stitches to the top, the top will be sewn to the linen backing. Sue will then show students how to add a personal touch by designing the borders. Borders will be hooked in cut # 3 or 4, in coordinating wool, above and below the appliqué section.
As rug hookers, we often have bits and pieces of wool leftover from hooking projects. Wool appliqué is the perfect solution. Take a little bit of wool, add some gorgeous stitches, maybe some embellishments, and the result is creative and fun fiber art! Not to mention, it’s a compact project for traveling!
Students will have the opportunity to select from several color palettes, prior to class, so that you can create a unique and colorful pin cushion. Your supplies will include everything you need to finish your project.
But wait there’s more! You will also receive a handout with illustrations and detailed written instructions for each decorative stitch – a wonderful resource for future stitching projects.
