ANG Seminar February 2017 - 30

Battalions of Borders
John Waddell
13015 Wednesday, August 30, 2017
At times, a stitched piece just needs a little something extra to unify and frame the subject.
This class will work with different stitches to develop borders and border applications. Students will experiment with scale, color, and texture to develop a sampler of borders. Ideas
and considerations for border planning and design will be covered. The finished piece ends
up being usable as an ornament or pin cushion. There are four different color choices available to students.
Proficiency Level: All
Design Size: 4" × 4"
Kit Cost/Contents: $25; #18 white canvas, threads of the student's choice (four [4] color
sets), instructions, needles, overdyed floss, and DMC Floss

Pacific Heart

Come West and stitch with us near the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Stitched on #18 white canvas that has been marked, this glitzy
"oceany" heart explores the use of seed and Delica beads in decorative needlepoint stitches. Students will outline the project with
a metallic thread and create the variety of fancy stitches with a lovely
overdyed silk and accompanying family of flosses. Iridescent seed and
Delica beads are incorporated into the decorative stitches and the heart
is accented with a flat abalone bead.
Proficiency Level: Basic Intermediate
Design Size: 5-1/2" × 5"
Kit Cost/Contents: $70; #18 marked canvas; instructions with color
photo; all of the overdyed silk, cotton floss, and metallic threads; Delica and seed beads; and an abalone accent bead to complete the project
