 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.

News from the New England Region
NER Workshops
Friday, November 1, 2024 -- Workshop -- Painting on Fabric
Saturday/Sunday, November 2 & 3, 2024 -- Workshop -- A Late-Period Blackwork Folding Orts Box
 Location: Bayside Resort in West Yarmouth (Cape Cod), MA
We have a wonderful weekend planned for November 1-3 in the pretty setting of Cape Cod.
Canby Robertson will share her knowledge of painting on fabric and surface embroidery.
On Friday afternoon and evening there will be a class on painting on fabric. The kit fee includes
the highest quality paints, brushes, muslin, and linen plus everything you need to practice your new
skills. This is not a project but a hands-on learning experience. For a future stitching
project, you will have learned to paint sky, sandy beach, grassy foreground, clouds, etc. to personalize
the background fabric.
On Saturday and Sunday there will be a two-day, full-day workshop to create an orts box. This is
surface stitching and not counted blackwork. The fabric will be printed with the design.
The kit for the painting class is $40 and the orts box embroidery kit is $130.
Additionally, there is a registration fee of $50 for refreshments and overhead.
These costs must be paid for in advance.
The hotel will be paid by you onsite, but you need to make your reservation by phone.
More details about the Orts Box workshop may be found
here.
Details about the hotel and the registration coupon may be found
