for 2009. Not that anyone's counting....except
maybe me. :) Though that seems like quite a lot, it's amazing how few have come out of my 2009 queue list. All that means is that I don't have to think too much about what I'll be stitching in 2010. More on this in another post.
Lily Pad is now stitched and awaiting final finishing. I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with it yet, boxtop, tote insert, not sure. In any case it was a very fun project and perfect for learning designer Susan Goodman's canvas transfer embellishment techniques. Think about doing this with a portrait of a child, your home or maybe a beloved pet. I can think of all types of applications. The background was randomly stitched using 1 strand of Accentuate; a nice effect for water without all the work!
Susan, local to Colorado, has taught needlework at national EGA and ANG seminars as well as at region seminars and local chapters. Her original embroidery pieces have been exhibited in five national EGA Biennial Exhibits. Susan’s current specialty is creative embroidery design with an emphasis on transfer methods and use of computer photographs. Lily Pad is a current teaching piece and though she doesn't sell individual kits directly, she teaches classes all over the country.
