Pin Cushion Play.
Posted on | January 23, 2018 | 12 Comments
Over the last two weeks I have been able to attend a class with Nicole at Sewing Connection to work on Sue Spargo style embroidery and wool work.
It has been wonderful to learn about a variety of techniques when working with wool and finding out about the various threads to use for this embroidery.
We started with something small – a pin cushion.
Mine was a pomegranate design. Lots of lovely stitches I was familiar with and a few new ones to learn to do. Perfect.
I have been enjoying stitching while the tennis is on. Looks like they are in for a hot one for the finals of the Australian Open as our temps are predicted to be 39c plus for the last three days.
I will be staying inside for those days.
Cheers, Karen

Your wool pincushion is devine. The colors are bright and the stitching beautiful. Looks like it was a great class.
Karen, your work is meticulous! Your little pin cushion is a real treasure. Stay cool, somehow, and enjoy the tennis!

This pincushion is really lovely. You are magical with stitchery, Karen! Although I’ve never met her or had a class with her, Sue Spargo lives about an hour drive from me.
Beautiful Karen!
Love Sue’s bright wooly style

I think you have the perfect project for the Tennis finals! Your stitching is truly lovely Karen! I’m curious- are they French knots or Colonial knots dotted about on the orange peel shapes?
