Details:
A lovely Mermaid sings her siren song on this nautically inspired set of needlework
smalls. The collection includes many different pieces. The gorgeous Mermaid Stitcher’s
Pocket, with Hardanger flap is finished in the shape of a shell. An adorable Needlecase
shaped like a miniature version of the Needlepocket and a matching Scissors Fob
as well as a Mermaid Scissors Case, with another Hardanger flap closure, complete
the entire assembly. Four unique silver charms add a nautical flavor to your stitching.
This design is stiched with the colours of the ocean. The luscious overdyed silks
and regular silks, the overdyed cottons, the sparkling metallic threads and beads
are all specially pick ed
to delight the eye. There is a wonderful bargello design that outlines the scallops
of the pocket ‘shell’ shape, and you’ll find it in the needlecase as well. Bargello
is easy and so much fun, and you’ll practice and learn a lot about this lovely technique
in this design. The Hardanger flaps are counted slightly differently, and the silk
ribbon ‘seaweed’ is just so real..it practically swims off the linen! Be prepared
to learn some new techniques, as well as stitch the easy Cross Stitched areas so
you can relax and stitch together without losing your concentration. This sampler can be finished as a needlework pocket, but it can also be framed and hung on a wall, or turned into a pillow top! I hope this collection captures your heart and
that you take them along on many future stitching retreats. Hope you enjoy this class, and that you learn lots while enjoying old and new friends online! :) - Thea
