Our staff member, Judy, recommended the Giant Scotch Lattice as a great stitch for a background.  Looking at the graph you can see that 3 different threads or colors can be used.  Playing around with threads is always fun.  Try Gloriana or Splendor for the Scotch stitch.  Use metallic thread such as Kreinik, Neon Rays Plus, Silk Lame Braid or Entice for the Elongated Double Crosses.   You can match the metallic thread to the color of the Scotch stitches or you can go a shade lighter or darker.  For the blue line use a darker thread either in your colorway or a totally different color.

 Irma has been enjoying her summer with her new tote & matching hat.  She stitched a wonderful summer ornament and finished it off to match her tote.  She also designed the flower that she attached to her hat.

NEW STITCH MONDAY – INTERLOCKING CROSSES WITH BEADS I love looking through all my books looking for new stitches to use.  It’s amazing how many different ways you can do a similar stitch.  Interlocking Crosses can also be called Hourglass Cross.  This is a perfect stitch when you are stitching a dress or some other type of fabric that you would like to dress up.  For those that don’t like to bead you can replace it with a corresponding metallic thread or a thread that is a shade darker or lighter than the one you are using for the crosses.  

Now that most of us have finished stitching gifts for this holiday season it’s time to start planning for next year.

Here is a list of our upcoming Trunk Shows:

September: Winnetika Stitchery

October: Rachel Donnelly

November: Associated Talents

December: Kimberly Ann Carter

Happy Finishing Friday!

Here's some finishing form the past couple of weeks, as we've been on a break. Enjoy!
