Hello Stitchers!

We’re getting settled in at our new location in Newbury Park. Still have much to do, but the phone is working, the plumbing stable, and the teapot is on!

Slide show directions to the shop....

We have a full slate of classes this summer with Margaret Bendig. Two two-day classes start us off in June/July

Star Dance

Star Dance is a study in the difference in the use of a single color using different threads, stitches, direction of stitches and the reflection of light to create. The original is stitched with Soie d’Alger silk and some specialty threads. The center star is a revolving set of patterns with metallic threads to add to the definition of the stitches. The background of the design is composed of many different star patterns using two values of blue silk with the addition white Sparkle Rays. This slice of the sky reminds me of the early morning sky along the central west coast as the dawn is breaking and the stars are beginning to fade into the day.
