            "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
