Cluster the roses together. o This stitch is done by bringing the ribbon to the front and then twisting the ribbon from needle to canvas making a loose coil. Go back into the same hole pulling ribbon gently and guiding ribbon with your free hand. The ribbon pulls into itself forming a ribbon rose, stop before you pull your rose back through the canvas. Use your beading thread to tack the ribbon down and securing it. ▪ This is a hard stitch to explain, I would recommend that you visit You Tube and look at Needlepoint Ribbon Roses. There are some very good videos of this technique. Happy Stitching! Copyright 2019. All rights reserved.

When deciding where to start, allow a margin of about 1.5” all around, which will allow enough margin for blocking should it be necessary. There are three basic stitches used in traditional needlepoint: Continental stitch, half-cross stitch, and basketweave stitch.

Of course I love it, with all of its red scattered throughout, the charming bucolic scene at the bottom fourth of the sampler with the shepherd and his sheep, the shepherdess and windmill, and, of course, the “star” of the sampler, the polka dot cow! All of the charming motifs scattered throughout include many different trees, crowns, cherubs, birds, butterflies, dogs, and more, most created with cross stitch, but a few are embroidered, like the tassels on each side (easy to omit if you prefer to abstain from embroidery.) * chart $24 * Lakeside linen w/2” margins: * 45c = $35 * 40c = $46 * 36c = $52 * Silks ~ $136 (the overdyed silk threadpack uses a combination of Belle Soie, Dinky Dyes, Gloriana, Gumnuts, and ThreadworkX AVAS) Linen & Silk Choices: * Linen - I photographed my favorite Lakeside linen color with reds, and although the camera’s eye doesn’t quite capture its beauty, the color is perfect, I think, for reflecting the rich silken colors. However, we have a lighter linen choice as well for anyone who prefers a lighter-colored linen. * Silk - We’ve done a conversion to exquisite overdyed silks, 22 different colors using 5 different silks.

  • Passing on Needlework Skills to Young People
    CT-MMB.700 PASSING ON NEEDLEWORK SKILLS TO YOUNG PEOPLE Why should we pass needlework skills on to young people? Don't they have enough to do with school, sports, music lessons, TV, and video games? And besides, it's so easy to buy needle crafted items at the store—the ones imported from overseas. Before you answer these questions, think about why you enjoy doing needlework yourself. We live in an age of technology and because of this, many parents have failed to see the importance of teaching handwork to their children. Family sociology has changed, families are spread out across the country, and the tradition of passing heritage skills from one generation to the next has almost been lost. Thankfully, the needle arts are experiencing a renewal, and many adults are learning the skills that were abandoned when they were growing up. Needlework includes knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, tatting/lacework, and rug making. Simply put, it is handwork that requires some sort of needle or tool and thread or yarn to create an item of decorative or practical use. The benefits of teaching young people needlework are numerous. Handwork develops focus and concentration. It encourages following a process in order to complete a project. It enhances critical thinking and math skills. It increases hand/eye coordination, small motor skills, and builds self-esteem. Moreover, it provides a means to promote healthy, interpersonal relationships between adults and children. Studies show that young people are less likely to engage in risky behaviors when they are bonded to trusted adults.1 Pointers for successfully working with young people Patience is the key when is comes to working with children.
