Before they came I had sent some links to show them how to do some hand stitched resists, Joann did some wonderful stitching and here she is taking out all the stitching after the indigo dip.
They also did some folds with machine stitched resist and here is one of them.
The whole group busy creating.
As we wrapped up on the first night we did some ice dying and let the ice melt over night. This is how they looked first thing in the morning.
And after washing out.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of everything else they did.
The Weekly Leaf
I picked up a maple leaf on a morning walk and use it on the gelli plate, I had one to stitch and one for another time.

As usual I'll be linking up to "Off the Wall Friday" and "Slow Sunday Stitching", both have some wonderful blogs to check out.
I love seeing the larger indigo resist pieces. Such fun patterns you guys generate!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, now that I am experimenting with hand stitching, I find myself zeroing in on that daily practice of yours. Do you have a favorite thread/yarn you use for stitching? It looks more substantial than DMC. Since you are clearly comfortable with dying - do you ever dye your own?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post . . . all the color! Your stitching is lovely; it's easy to see you're passionate about it! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had fun with their colourful projects, including you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just LOVE what you did with that maple leaf. Beautiful and so creative. I might have to go for a walk and see what I can find for some inspiration today. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThose indigo pieces are lovely and the Maple leaf piece you done is simply a beauty, I am thinking of trying something similar with a sycamore leaf from my tree. The group was indeed creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous class! Wish I could attend!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous pieces were created!
I just love the texture you create with your stitches!
