Teaching . . . .

Recently I had the opportunity to teach for Pacific Northwest Needle Arts Guild.  (click here to see their website)

I taught goldwork, Henry Hedgehog and my Golden Tree.  I had 6 students, 3 doing Henry and 3 doing the tree.  It was so much fun, I loved teaching these ladies.  

 

Henry was a little goldwork and a little silk shading.  

The Golden Tree was all goldwork using many different types of gold threads.  I have seen two of the trees finished. Every tree is different because I give the shape for the trunk and the students create their own tree.  So much fun!

I am looking forward to teaching more in the future for PNNAG and other guilds and/or shops.  If you are interested in a class for your guild please send me a message.

Thank you for checking back . . . hope you are enjoying spring weather!

Hardanger Workshop Update

I have had a few messages regarding the Hardanger Workshop I taught last week in England and thought I would tell everyone why I taught the workshop and the reason I selected the fabric I did.

I was invited to teach the workshop because I had been attending an Embroidery Class every Monday at the Community Center since January and the tutor asked if I would be interested in teaching the workshop for her. She knows I want to teach needlework classes when I return home and she thought it would be a good opportunity for me.

The fabric we used for the workshop was 28 count linen because I did not have any other options, I understand 22 count Hardanger fabric would have been easier to see but I was unable to get Hardanger fabric before the workshop. I am excited about going home where I have a wonderful shop and I have lots of supplies at home too.

Thank you to everyone who made suggestions, I appreciate the input.
