Twinchies for 2010

January 14, 2010

attic window needlepoint twinchy, designed by janet perry

I have just spent some much overdue time looking at the Twinchies I have done and uploading them into a Facebook album.

This year, as much as I can, I will be using the Twinchy format to try out new needlepoint techniques as part of the 2010 President’s Challenge. We will be trying a new technique each month including Hilton Stitches (this month, hardanger on canvas, bargello, and surface embroidery on canvas. It’s free and open to all members of CyberPointers.

But looking at them all got me excited again about these little bits of needlepoint. so I’m going to start doing more of them. In the spirit of trying something new, I’d like the Twichy theme for January to be monochromatic color schemes. To make it even easier, I also want you to use the Attic Windows Twinchy pattern shown above.

That’s it, use any stitches you like, any threads, but in a monochromaticscheme in this pattern.

I’ll make a gallery of pictures people send me and show you my results in early February.

Tomorrow look for a post about this color scheme.
