Rachael is a young, up-and-coming stitcher with an artistic approach to surface
embroidery.
The day will begin with a presentation by Rachael showing a number of her
recent embroideries and explaining the process of their creation. She
will review how she chooses the fabric and how it inspires the design.
She will review how she chooses the threads and how they will enhance the
design. She will review the stitches and how they make the design
come to life.
After this presentation, Rachael will guide each of us through the process
of creating our own decorative piece. Attendees/participants should
bring a piece of patterned fabric about 10" square, a 5-8" wooden hoop, sharp
needles, and a variety of threads (cottons, silks, wools, metallics, or blends)
and/or embellishments. Rachael will also bring some fabrics and beads
from which you may choose, if you prefer.
We will take a break for lunch around noon -- bring your own or join us for
take-out. We will have a menu and order form for you when you arrive
that morning.
After lunch, we will have a brief business meeting and election of officers
and Show & Tell before continuing our stitching with Rachael.
There is no fee for this day of creativity, and pre-registration is not
required. If you wish to view Rachael's presentation and/or attend
the business meeting via Zoom, please contact
