Gallery of our recently completed work

HARDANGER
Shirley Ludens' Doily, designed by Shirley Ludens, stitched by Heidi S. Stunning center-piece in red, very eye-fetching. Notice the fine stitches, very precise. Piece is about 18" - 24" in diameter. It was a shelter-in-place project (2020) and took about a month.

RIBBON EMBROIDERY
Zinnia designed and stitched by Lois K, photograph on fabric transfer

BLACKWORK in green
2022 Peppermint Purple SAL, designed by Clare Ardali of Peppermint Purple, stitched by Patty H. Notice how the piece is framed, floating between two panes of glass, edging frayed by design. This was a 52-week block of the week project; each block dropping on Wednesday. I committed to myself that I would not get behind. Usually, I worked on the week’s block during the guild’s Wednesday stitch-in. However, I always made time to finish the week’s block no matter where I was --my work travelled with me to South Lake Tahoe, San Juan Bautista, several trips to SoCal, and three trips to Oahu!
