Our program will be in person at Thistle Needleworks.  We will have lots of Show and Tell.  We plan to start a piece by Caela Conn Tyler called Just for Fun!

 
"Just for Fun! A Study in Textures" was a cyber class by Caela Conn Tyler back in 2002.  You can do the piece in her colorway or choose your own from stash.  We will provide complete instructions.  We will also continue with this piece at our June meeting.

Linda Berry stitched it and saved the detailed instructions with large scale diagrams and the emailed lectures and colored pictures sent with each lesson.  You feel like Caela is right there with you supplying helpful hints on both materials and stitches.  Stitches include whipped back stitch, Katie's Stitch, free-form needle weaving, web stitch, attaching beads, irregular eyelets & pulled coil, Rhodes circle, diamond darning pattern, flat diamond stitch, cushion cross corners, whipped spiders, diamond eyelets, Smyrna cross, looped ribbon and beads, filet stitch, large woven star, and loop stitch.

The piece is stitched on Congress cloth 12" x 12" (design is 6" diameter) using DMC Six-Strand Embroidery Thread #353, Décor #1514 (or Trebizond), Marlitt #1042, #8 Pearl Cotton #353, Delta #0-2, Zeta #0-2, Medici #8139, Silk Ribbon #167, Spring II #324S or Gumnuts Poppies #823, and YLI Fine Metallic #R-10.
