Maritime Scissor Case

Please welcome Elizabeth Ann Talledo back on September 23, 24 and 25, 2011 from Dames of the Needle/Finger Work.

The project is a reproduction of an antique Shaker Pin Cushion. The piece is worked on 32 count hand dyed linen from Lakeside that is painted with acrylic paints with counted and surface embroidery stitching. The piece has a maritime theme with mermaids, octopus, squid, sea horse, ships and a harbor.

This is a two day class where students will learn to paint on linen, dye fabric, stitching and finishing techniques.

Day one, September 24th students will paint the water and sky on all four panels for the outer and inner boxes. They will use walnuts to dye the fabric and cotton twill used to finish the piece. Stitching instructions will be reviewed if time on first day. Day two, September 25th the students will start stitching, finish the strawberry and review finishing instructions.

We will have a little pre-stitching to do and this will arrive at the shop the middle of August.

Stitches on the case are Tent Stitch, Cross Stitch over one and two, Couched Stitches, Satin Stitch, Palestrina Knot over one, Straight Stitches, Wrapped Stitch and Smyrna Cross Stitch.

Your kit will include hand dyed cotton threads, hand dyed linen, access to paints and dye, fabric, cotton twill, scissors, magnet, wool, MOP thread rings, 4 ply cotton matte board, and finishing materials to finish the project.
