Crewel Designs with my paintings, me enjoying lobster at Castine, and my first stitching on 72 ct silk gauze!

Hello all,
Now I can let you all know, I will be teaching a crewel embroidery class at the 2010 Guild School and I am SO EXCITED! I know a number of ladies said they would like to take the class and sure hope they do.

It will be a coverlet for a Elizabethan bed that I have from Peartree Miniatures (http://www.peartree-miniatures.co.uk/) and it should be a great project. I was hoping to teach it in the future, so designed it with as many different stitches as I could in the various motifs, to be able to have lots to teach. The entire coverlet won't be finished in a 12 hour class, but students will learn all the stitches necessary for completion, along with a booklet of stitches and finishing instructions.

I am very pleased to have the first class ever at Castine in Crewel.
