Today was our 4th and final day of our class with Debbie Stiehler of the Imari Collage. A most delightful and enjoyable class…and as always I learned lots of new things and am now rejuvenated, reinvigorated and ready to stitch!
Debbie looked absolutely stunning in her regal purple top with a Laurel Burch scarf that had a very familiar design and I said “that’s my canvas!” She replied that she had the same canvas.
I really tried to get a good picture of the scarf, but it didn’t happen…but I am sure that you get the idea.
This was a Florentine Pattern that started out our morning. It will be worked in a total of 3 colors.
The next stitch on the Imari Collage was worked with silk perle. No laying tool needed!
Dinny and Debbie shared the back of the classroom with Elizabeth, Pat, Kristen and myself.
This was the last stitch of the day and that needed the laying tool to come back out! A stitch of gold needs to be added yet.
Debbie was kind enough to pose for us next to her beautiful stitched piece! I have never ever gotten so much stitched in a seminar class before. I am really motivated to keep working on it when I get home.
After class, a quick dash over to the other side of the hotel to check out the silent auction. Nothing spoke to me! well after all I am saving myself…
Well I should say that the party is really only 1/2 over. Tomorrow we check out of the hotel where there is a large contingency of us going to Aristea, to A Stitch in Time, check into our other hotel as we ready for the Fab 4 class that starts on Thursday. Whew! I am going to need a vacation to rest up from my vacation when I get home.
and until next time…keep on stitching
What fun!
yes it was!
