In May 2014 - I will be teaching for the Royal School of Needlework in Williamsburg, Virginia. I will be teaching three workshops, and this one is the longest - 6 days of teaching and creativity! This will be a waistcoat front, inspired by 18th Century design, and so far - I am just sampling to see what works.
Sounds like it will be a lovely experience. And the stem stitch on your sample really captures the glorious spikiness of the outline...the couching - not so much. Looking forward to seeing more sampling!
Colonial Williamsburg is full of inspiration for embroiderers. I'm sure this piece will be well received.
ReplyDeleteI am very much looking forward to being inspired, and being there. I am also very much enjoying sampling my design. More to come . . .

ReplyDeleteThis is why I sample - very important too to get the best results! Thanks for your comments - appreciated.
DeleteThis looks good, looking forward to more! It must be terrific to teach abroad. One day...
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth - it is nice to be asked to teach abroad and share skills!
DeleteLooking good Tracy! The stem stitch is very effective. Can I ask what thread you are using for it?
ReplyDeleteHello Shirley, it is a DMC metallic - a bit challenging but great result! x
DeleteI also like the stem stitch better. A RSN class is on my bucket list. Some day......
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my RSN class, but enjoy wherever you go!
DeleteOh, I love the stem stitch on this. It's so crisp and defined. Makes the whole element look feathery.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary, much appreciated and just what I was aiming for.
