Last week was CRAZY!!!! Kelly Clark was in town teaching her three day Rooster Collage piece. What a way to come back from my vacation. Reentry was a little rough last week. LOL! But more on that later this week.
It was a packed class an boy did they work hard!
On Wednesday morning it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Thursday morning brought some random stitches with silk ribbon. I was ready to run across the street to the liquor store and pick up mimosas to relax them. But they got it!
Kelly is so delightful and an amazing stitcher and teacher. I can’t wait for her to come back next spring for our retreat.
Katherine nearly finished her piece during class.
We enjoyed a few wonderful dinners out, with Margaritas of course!
Even my little Bella hung around during class. She looks very relaxed. I guess stumpwork and ribbon work don’t phase here!
We have one kit left if you’d like to ghost the class. The kits are only available through the class. The stitch guide will not be publicly released till next year. So, if you’re thinking about it, don’t wait!
Notice in the picture that the frame is showing on top as she worked on her piece. I always thought the canvas is placed on top of the frame to work on. Have I been doing it wrong all these years? I have taken classes and it was always the frame was under the canvas.
When the frame is on top it is called “stitching in the well.” Either way is fine. It is a matter of preference. Having the bars on top protects the piece when you are traveling with it.
Had so much fun in this class. Great teacher,wonderful stitchers,and an awesome store with awesome staff. An experience to cherish.
