            "Water Spiral" with Terri Bay on Zoom


This is a companion the "Earth Spiral" we did last year, yet very different.

"Water Spiral" is a 6.5" long Hardanger spiral ornament.  Water is a 12" long and 1.25" wide strip worked in various Hardanger stitches.  It alternates between a ship stitch motif and filling stitches.  Water is then wound into a spiral and joined using Ukrainian Insertion Stitches.  The Insertion used in Water is a two-step stitch called the Boikian Joining.  Some of the stitches included are wrapped bars, woven bars, satin, ship, dove’s eye, eyelets, Greek Cross, and Joining.

Kit fee is $60.00

Kit Contents: 28-count linen Cashel White, 2 skeins pearl cotton size 8 Cottage Garden Thread Dark Yew, 1 skein pearl cotton size 12 Cottage Garden Thread Dark Yew, tapestry 24 needle, tapestry 26 needle, charts, and instructions.

Finishing Supplies (supplied by student, but not needed in class): 1" wide ribbon in color of choice - 12" long; 1" x 12" strip of fabric; adhesive such as Heat N Bond™.

"Water Spiral" is a basic/intermediate level class.  Students should have the ability to work on 28-count linen and some experience with thread cutting and needle weaving.
