Learn some new specialty stitches – not the same ones as last year – some repeat but now
we are moving in to how to use the stitches in shapes! We did squares last year, this year
rounded shapes so you can learn to compensate. You do not have to have previous specialty stitch experience to attend this class.

Included here in this tiny sampler you will learn the following stitches:
Greek Cross, Ray, Bargello, Algerian eyelets different sizes, Hungarian, and satin stitch.
Use your favourite Christmas colours. I have charted it for Christmas using 4 greens, 2
pinks, 1 red, a gold and Kreinik #4 -002Gold Braid, Teal and bit of bit of brown for the
hangers. But have fun and use what you have or what pleases you. I used 11 colours in total and a few gold beads.
Each stitch will be diagramed out for you. You will be given clear
written instructions with some great diagrams. In class I will show how each stitch is
completed using several mediums. A large cardboard with holes to show in large exactly
how to stitch it, we will go over the diagrams in your chart and then show the stitches on
linen and aida. You will master these pleasing stitches to add into any sampler you wish!!
You will only need a printer to print the chart. It will be approximately 8-10 pages.
You will need to source some supplies, but I suspect you will have a small piece of fabric
and some Christmas colours around to use. Have fun picking some favourites.
I made twisted cord for the finish, but you can certainly finish in any fashion you like, so you may need to get supplies to finish also.
This would look so sweet on your tree for this Christmas – it may be your first specialty
stitches, or it may be that you know them already but sure fun to enjoy regardless.
