• learn correct execution of stitches
• learn to create threads when specific colors are not available in specific threads

Stitches

• crescent motifs
• herringbone triangle
• satin stitch
• square eyelets
• detached chain stitch
• double running backstitch
• oval eyelets
• beaded sheaves
• 4-color herringbone
• woven triangles
• Norwich

Comments

Canvas color  choices are :
    Victorian Christmas green, antique blue, red, or black

The students choose their canvas color ahead of time per the student letter. In class there is a wide variety of threads available from which to choose — overdyed perle, #8 perle,  floss, and metallics. After discussion of basic color theory, the students will spend some time choosing which colors they want for their project.

Each color scheme will be unique to that student.
