BEADED TULIP – WITH MARLA BAER-PECKHAM If you missed making beaded flowers in April, here’s another chance to learn or practice. The small Tulip is sure to make you smile! Measuring about 2" tall, it can be used as part of a bouquet, as an embellishment for a piece of jewelry, or just for fun! It is made entirely out of beads. Kits are $10 and include: all beads needed to complete the project, enough beading thread and a beading needle. Other tools like lights, bead mats, and thread cutters will be provided for use in the class. Of course, students are welcome to bring their own tools, including favorite needles and thread.
BEGINING CROSS-STITCH - WITH JENNIE TURNER Come and learn how to cross stitch! Jennie will cover the foundations of how to read a pattern, how to adjust the size of the design, types and gauge of fabric and how to start. She will review tips to help you enjoy your stitching and get the best results and we will start stitching a simple pattern of fuchsia flowers in class. You bring: a notebook, embroidery scissors, a 5 “hoop, magnification and light source if you need it. I will have kits available for $5 containing aida fabric, floss, a needle and needle threader, project chart and conversion chart.

Tsunami Barnes will offer a class teaching how to do the wonderful types of embroidery you’ve admired on her jackets and other projects.
Would you like to decorate a denim jacket, add exciting stitchery to a quilt, create an embroidered picture or simply learn some stitches and techniques? Then this class is for you! Tsunami will teach some basic stitches and variations as well as demonstrate some of her favorite stitches and those working well for outlining and filling shapes. Should be fun! |
|
Some materials will be provided but you should bring a few things:
• At least 3 colors of Perle Cotton, size 5 (Threadneedle Street in Issaquah has the best selection). Tsunami will bring extra that you can buy if need be, let her know at [email protected]. • Embroidery scissors • Size 2 and 3 embroidery/crewel needles • Thimble (I like the ones with a recessed tip) • Embroidery hoop, about 5 “ diameter While you don’t absolutely need it for class, the book by Jacqueline Enthoven, The Stitches of Creative Embroidery is recommended (a copy is available in the library). Questions? Please call Margaret at 206.234.8040 or email her at [email protected]. NOTE: Photos are examples of Tsunami's work, not what will be made in class. You can decorate what you want, or create a sampler.
