STITCH OF THE MONTH

Parisian Worked In Horizontal Columns

The highlighted diagram shows how traditional Parisian stitch was modified to create these subtle stripes. The columns (stripes) are worked in horizontal rows with one stitch over 2 (red) and below it, one stitch over 4 (blue). In the vertical row next to it, you start on the same horizontal row and work the stitch over 4 and the one below it, over 2. This will give you an even row, not staggered as Parisian would normally be worked. Continue these columns being sure the stitches end evenly in the columns (stripes). Not sure, stop in for a tutorial.

LEARN NEW STITCHES

We had such a positive response to this summer's class, with customers asking if we would hold another, we're offering another one in September. It is the perfect opportunity for stitchers who want to learn new stitches. The instructor will work with the students to choose colors and stitches. In addition to using multiple stitches, a myriad of fibers and colors of your choosing will be used. If you don't want another pillow, consider finishing as a wood

or acrylic tray or tic tac toe board.

Please call the shop 203-655-9112 or respond to

this email to inquire and or sign-up.

Maybe you've finished a class but still want to come in and stitch or want to learn a new stitch, ask a question or chat with other stitchers..... Whatever the reason, please join us Wednesday mornings.
