March Project

Stumpwork class with Betsy!

The project for March is a beginner level Stumpwork ornament.  It features a
raspberry with sepals, leaves and bud on a curved stem.  In the center area
of the stem is a spider sitting in her web.  The complete kit includes everything
needed to complete the ornament - silk Dupioni fabric, skirtex circles, cotton
batting, pearled silk thread, overdyed silk embroidery floss, metallic thread,
beads, felt and cording material.  In class we will 'doodle' all of the stitches
and techniques used in the design.  The finished ornament is 3 inches in
diameter.  The kit fee is $20.  Please bring a 4 inch hoop as well as your
usual stitching supplies to class.
