HUH? Never mind, sounds complicated...NOT!
I love plaid, always have since parochial school! But I had no idea how it was achieved with a needle and thread. Until last night at my local ANG meeting, I learned. Our program, taught by a local talented and gifted teacher/stitcher, Jennifer Riefenberg, showed us just how it's done. And in record time. After the general meeting we had just over an hour to learn and practice the technique. I loved it! If you haven't given stitching plaid a try, please do. It's as relaxing as basketweave or tent but with a much more interesting effect, IMHO. Depending upon your choice of color and the number of colors used, the effects can be as different as anything I've seen in needlework. Thanks Jennifer for sharing your photos.
Hmmm, I'm already thinking of ways to incorporate plaid into my projects, current and upcoming.
