This class teaches you the techniques required to stitch three dimensional
shapes using variations
of detached buttonhole with the aid of a hedebo ring stick. There will be a
choice of three different projects.
Elizabethan Rose Panel -Design size 14cm x 10cm. The design
for the rose panel has been inspired by a bible cover that belonged to Elizabeth
1. The panel has been stitched using a combination of DMC Coton a broder 25,
DMC stranded, metallic threads, pearls and beads.
Elizabethan Knot garden - Design size 12cm x 12cm. The inspiration
for this design has come from my love of the intricate patterns and plants of
the Elizabethan gardens which were often mirrored in the embroidery of the 16th
century. Most of these amazing ornate gardens are no longer in existence but
have been accurately depicted in embroideries.
Wildflower Wreath- Design size 10cm x 10cm
The flowers are stitched individually working on a hedebo ring stick. Once you
have mastered the
technique of working flowers on the ring stick you will be able to create amazing
3 dimensional pieces limited only be your imagination.
