<i>Dots, Spots and Blocks</i> shows many ways to create "dotted" effects using stitches, threads and color placement. It is a collection of stitch patterns that will create a visual pattern that mimics "dots', "spots" and "blocks". The 26 pages in this package contain project instructions and 222 stitch patterns. So many uses for these stitches on your projects. <br />

Another choice is <i>Not Exactly Blackwork</i>.Blackwork Embroidery is an embroidery technique originally used to decorate clothes and bed linens. It was meant to imitate lace where lace would have been too expensive or impractical. Today, Blackwork is mostly used as fills in counted thread designs where outlined areas are given texture and density, or as shapes and shadings in their own right. The stitches in this "Not Exactly Blackwork" project pack are mostly inspired by needlepoint stitches. Some are used almost as their original with only changes in spacing. Other counted thread stitches are used in new and interesting groups. Although Blackwork is traditionally a counted thread on fabric technique, the author/designer has effectively used it on needlepoint canvas also. So many uses as well for this stitches.

An accomplished stitcher , Penny worked on this piece at The Nimble Needle, Atlanta with talented Robin King who wrote the fabulous stitch guide. The texture and dimensions are wonderful.

This is the time of year I get to take a breath and dig into all the things that I could not get to during our busy winter season. I am working on this canvas will be finished as a fun banner. I found some great embellishments to complete which I am keeping as a surprise when you see the finished item. </span><br />

November 23, 2013 to April 20, 2014<br />
Phoenix Art Museum <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I just wanted to remind everyone that this exhibit is coming to an end on April 20, 2014.<br />
The museum overview states<br />
"When former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright vocally opposed Sadaam Hussein’s unwillingness to comply with UN inspections, government-owned Iraqi newspapers called her an “unparalleled serpent.” When Secretary Albright was next scheduled to meet with Iraqi officials, she reached into her jewelry box and selected a gold pin featuring a serpent coiled around a branch, and the legend began. Throughout her career as UN Ambassador and Secretary of State under the Clinton Administration, Secretary Albright used the colorful, attention-grabbing pins she had amassed to quietly communicate volumes. Now, that incredible collection of pins, including antiques and fine jewelry pieces alongside costume jewelry by unknown designers, will make its way to Phoenix Art Museum. The exhibition, which first premiered at New York City’s Museum of Arts and Design, features more than 200 pins, each selected by Secretary Albright to communicate a message or a mood during and after her diplomatic tenure. From fish to flags, jewel-encrusted hearts to pins honoring suffragettes, this collection reflects the unique style and brilliant personality of a woman who learned to leverage every avenue of communication in the fine art of diplomacy."<br />
<br />
Lots of color, texture and ideas for using beads when you see these pins- so do take the time to view this exhibit.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Silk ribbons come in the most glorious colors. They become wonderful flowers on this beautiful canvas that Laura Taylor stitched and will teach March 1/2/3. Laura was just here for three days of canvas enhancement in January and the ladies chose this piece for Laura's next visit. If you want to learn about silk ribbon and its many uses, this is the class for you. You will learn to love working with silk ribbon and leave with great ideas for your next projects. Laura has taught this class receiving rave reviews from the other shops and their wonderful customers. There are some books on silk ribbon embroidery , like the A-Z book which is no longer in print . Ann Cox has a book I stock in the store that is about 5"x7" with a coil binding that has wonderful pictures and diagrams to follow. But there is nothing like a class to really learn by doing from a good teacher like Laura. The stitched piece is in the store so do stop in for a visit . It is just spectacular. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a closeup of some of the flowers.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are uncertain on how to use over-dyed threads this is the class for you. If you want to know how to highlight or shadow an area or how to use ribbons , this is the class for you. You will leave with a wealth of knowledge and skills. Laura will put you at ease and three days in her class will be a treat!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>" Invoking the colors of Africa, Serengeti is a study in adjusting stitch
elements to fit an area, rather than just compensating. Forty-five
blocks of various sizes provide interest and diversity with multiple
stitch variations. Threads used to create Serengeti are derived from an
over dyed Waterlilies using a variety of silk, bamboo, and metallic
threads. Come join us on the journey! " </i>is Pamela Harding's description of this class.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Talented Pamela Harding will be teaching this design at the shop in April 2014. We are just </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">working on the details , so watch for these on the website, Facebook and this blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There is a great article about Pamela in the latest issue of Needlepoint Now. Not only accomplished in needlepoint , Pamela is working on her teacher certification for Japanese Embroidery. I enjoyed a Japanese Embroidery class we both were in and observed first hand her exquisite stitching. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The design will be offered both on congress cloth and 18 mesh canvas. It is 9"x9" on congress cloth and 12"x12" on 18 mesh canvas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pamela writes further "</span><i> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My teaching goal for this piece became a study in
adapting stitches to fill an area, rather than compensating. This
approach tricks the eye, seeing what it thinks it should see, even
though many stitches are not standard repeats to fill the blocks. Many
are modified in such a way that the viewer doesn’t even realize the
stitches have been adjusted to fit the area."</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Beads will be added to the earrings and bracelets to add some more sparkle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look at all those French knots! Boucle was used for the hair to give it that tight curl permanent look. (Who remember those permanents? !) The hat was stitched with Rainbow linen in a t stitch to let the shading show through.The plan is to basket weave the dress in silk with the chair being done in velvet. Isn't Bun doing a great job! A wonderful tribute to her mother. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Both have a darning pattern background to give them that old fashioned lace look. The colors are white and lavender as those are the colors of her kitchen. The gold spouts and stems add a little elegance . They were stitched using Kreinik #12 braid along with City Silk and Gloriana silk floss. My friend always has a vase filled with lavender stalks gracing her kitchen with its sweet scent both soothing and purifying the air. Lavender belongs to the mint family and has been documented for use of over 2500 years. Egyptians used it for mummification processes. It was used as a perfume by the Phoenicians and the Romans used the oils for bathing, cooking and scenting the air. In the world of aroma therapy, it is used as a top note and sweetness that gives "fruity aspects" to perfumes and other scented products. Did you know mosquitoes and moths hate the smell. The friend's kitchen loves lavender and cooking with this herb she tells me is said to ease digestive problems. Herbs d'Provence typically contains lavender and cans be used as a savory pinch to any meat or soup dish. She uses the lavender buds sprinkled over a salad to bring as a bright colorful addition to its greens, and has been know to drop a few into a glass of champagne or has them mixed into a chocolate cake recipe creating an aromatic enchantment. </span><br />
