"A Livelier Bargello Iris"
“This delightful bloom grows tall and proud on a fresh blue
vintage canvas using Straw Silk, Silken Straw, Edmar Boucle` for the blossom, adding
Caron Waterlilies for the leaves. Over-dyed Perle cotton and floss fill out the
frame. As a design in Bargello and Laid Filling Stitches, it stitches up quickly
in shades of lavender and purple in a multitude of values. The background is left
unstitched and the frame is simple Scotch couched long stitches, with unique corner and
side motifs. Watch as simple bargello stitches bring this iris to life!”
This class will be offered via Zoom on consecutive Saturdays for 3 hours on each day.
Because we are zooming for shorter time periods, these three hours will be mostly instruction
with limited stitching. The class is considered intermediate in level and is stitched on
18-count light blue vintage mono canvas. The design size is 10 1/2” x 15 1/2”.
The kit cost is $95 and includes the 16” x 20” line drawn canvas, threads to include
straw silks, Waterlilies, and solid and over-dyed cotton floss and pearl cotton, instruction
booklet, and needles.
Students will need to provide:
16” x 20” stretcher bars (one pair of each)
tacks or staples
laying tool
usual stitching supplies
light and magnification, if desired
The deadline for signing up for this piece has passed, but Wendy has a couple of extra kits if you’d like to join the class. Please contact Linda Berry at
lindaberry343@gmail.com as soon as
possible.

Christmas Tree Ornament
We will meet via Zoom to work on the Mini Tree Ornament described in the December
2021 issue of Needle Arts. This ornament was designed by Mary Waldsmith, and
the instructions begin on page 28. Please make sure you locate and retain this issue
for use at this meeting. A piece of green canvas will be mailed in September to
class participants, and the threads will be provided by you from your
stash.
A coupon is provided for this meeting.

Snowman Ornament
This meeting will also meet via Zoom. The Winter Snowman ornament that we
will work on is in the Jan/Feb 2022 issue of Needlepoint Now. If you have this
issue, please save it for the directions. If you need a copy of the magazine, we
have them for your purchase. For this class, we will supply the canvas
in November and hope that you can find the threads needed in your supplies.
A coupon is provided for this meeting.
