Blackwork Accessories Cyberclass Now Open
One of three projects in this class
Explore the traditional needleart of Blackwork while making three charming accessories in my next cyberclass. Each project teaches you different types of patterns and techniques while creating small, useful items you can finish yourself.
The Change Purse, stitching pictured above, uses “crazy” patchwork to look at three types of Blackwork patterns. The Photo Album creates a variety of Blackwork borders in an unusual offset pattern. The Checkbook Cover looks at shading in Blackwork by filling patterns. The first, non-stitching lesson covers the history of Blackwork, basic techniques ans specialized tips for stitching blackwork when using overdyed threads.
Stitched on 18 count Aida or canvas using either solid or overdyed flower thread and a metallic, you can customize the project to suit your tastes. In addition to the projects, you’ll also learn about the history of Blackwork, how to choose threads for great results, and how to understand Blackwork charts and patterns. It’s a great introduction to this historic form of needlework.
The four lesson class is only $20. You can register by clicking on the button above. The class is held as part of Counted Wishes and begins August 1.
As a special bonus, attendees to the class will be able to buy my book, Blackwork Beauties as an ebook at a special price.
