class projects now for everyone..
'
You may have been watching me this year travelling and teaching at many many places… My classes for the year are now finished – just one show to go but that’s for stores, so I am no going to share with you some of the projects that ladies have been stitching across the world…. you can now make them yourself – without me guiding you of course but there are good instructions in the patterns.
Two French Kisses – now ladies, don’t read anything into that name….. it was named because last year I could not remember how many kisses each country used for a greeting and I was constantly bumping noses!!!! Teaching in Basel there are ladies from Germany, Switzerland, France and even Austria – and they all have different greetings – and of course languages…. I was so confused… so I named this to remind me… it was designed specifically for my Basel class. Last year the lovely Florence took Gail and I into France for the day and to a linen factory. I purchased the linen and the ribbon and Florence gave us both a little button – we were to all make something with it and share…
This year I taught this class in Tynset, Norway,
There were many and varied colourways and thread choices but they all looked wonderful and when finished were made into this:
a gorgeous toiletry or project bag. There are 1” hexies (using the wonderful iron ons) along the bottom
and 1/2” hexies on the other side featuring Florence’s button in the centre.
as you can see my embroidery design was inspired by the button and other styles I witnessed in Europe last year…
I used the linen bought from the factory and the little tabs at either end also use the ribbon I purchased on my little trip.
The pattern is now available at your local store or from here.
It includes enough 1/2” and 1” iron on hexies to make the project once… if you haven't tried them yet you will love them and want them in the 100’s…
Tomorrow I will show you the release of another new pattern you are just going to looooove….
hugs for today
Helen
