I hope all my State-side buddies had an exquisite vacation weekend – welcome to September!
This autumn, we thought we’d do one thing a bit totally different for a stitch-along. It’s one mission, but it surely’s made up of a number of small tasks – and it might simply morph into many tasks, relying on you! It’s adaptable to any season, however we’re making it notably fall.
At the moment, I’ll inform you a bit bit about it basically and share some sneak peaks of the mission up shut.
As we strategy the launch date for the stitch-along, I’ll inform you all of the all of the juicy particulars, however for now, just a bit overview and a glimpse of what we’re going to do collectively for individuals who need to take part!
Harvest Hues … the identify is supposed to evoke autumn and its superb coloration change. I don’t know if it does that completely. After I say “Harvest Hues” to myself, I see golden wheat and dried up corn, as a result of I dwell in Kansas. The irony is that the noticeable golden wheat doesn’t occur in fall. And the dried up corn is normally gone earlier than the actual autumn units in.
However hey … let’s not die on a technicality.
So Harvest Hues it’s.
And what’s Harvest Hues precisely?
It’s a stitch-along mission that entails embroidering three leaves with all types of harvest hues.
The stitch-along focuses on a wide range of stitches, combining colours, and enjoying with texture.
Ultimately, we’ll end our embroidery into leaves. We’ll make leaf formed “ornaments” of a form, backed with wool felt (in three luscious autumn colours). These hanging leaves – glowing with beads and replete with a malleable stem – can be utilized in numerous ornamental methods in the course of the season – you’re solely restricted by your creativeness!
However I’ll be ending ours (mixed with different non-embroidered leaves) to create an ornamental pennant-style banner. Colourful, seasonal, celebratory, and enjoyable!
The mission is suited to rookies and past, so it doesn’t matter what your degree of expertise, be at liberty to affix in!
Sure, there can be kits! And within the kits, you’ll have sufficient of all the things to finish a minimum of three absolutely embroidered, completed leaves: linen floor material, all of the threads in full skeins, an abundance of beads (we’re together with a full tube this time, so that you’ll have loads), interfacing, wires, needles, and three actually delectable colours of wool-blend felt.
Throughout the stitch-along, I’ll take you thru the entire course of: supplies lists, designs, mission set-up, stitching, and ending.
As standard, it will likely be a self-paced stitch-along. I’ll put up a lesson (in some instances, two classes) per week, that you simply’ll discover right here on the weblog if you’re prepared to maneuver on to the following a part of the mission.
For members on Patreon, you’ll obtain the teachings in PDF format, straightforward to obtain to your pc and print as wanted. I’ll additionally share a minimum of one video that highlights a specific half (or elements) of the mission.
Quando, Quando, Quando?
And when will all this occur?
My plan is to launch the kits by the top of subsequent week. Nevertheless… now we have been anxiously awaiting one coloration of thread. Only one! It’s been on backorder some time, however the information was that it was coming in final week. However… we’re nonetheless ready. Fingers crossed, it will likely be right here by the top of this week or starting of subsequent, in order that we are able to full the package meeting on time.
If not, the kits will launch the following week. It’s generally a wait-and-see sport, with provide traces.
As standard, I’ll announce the launch date right here on the weblog as soon as now we have that thread in hand.
Within the meantime, I’ll try to maintain you entertained with different thrilling embroidery goodies over the following couple weeks! Heaps happening right here within the studio – behind the wall – the place the dearth of daylight is slowly turning me right into a mushroom.
