It's been a very busy weekend. Carole Lake has been with us for the last two days teaching Canvas Embellishment and How to Write a Stitch Guide. The first class was a great way to get stitch suggestions and threads for your canvases in a small group. The class was limited to 8 people. We all sat around the table so participants could hear what Carole's suggestions were for all the canvases.
Today, it was a lecture class. This time, Carole talked about choosing canvases first based on what you love, good design elements and then choosing threads and stitch to bring out the best in the canvas. She is convinced that the individual stitcher is in the best position to choose h/her own stitches. Her suggestions were great. It was also beneficial to see what she would suggest for other canvases.
Extremely informative was her example of a poorly designed canvas.
