Lesson 7

Stitching Play

Supply List

• A selection of threads - I use a six strand thread(please use your own preference - no rules)

• Floss cards for spare threads

• Pencil for a light draw up

• Threading / embroidery ring

• Reference - try to use one of your own paintings as a starting point.

Thread your needle… Let’s start Stitching.

One of the techniques I use when I start stitching, like I would when I paint, is to start by laying down my cast shadows with one of my darker threads. I outline what I can with thread - like drawing with thread. Start blocking in colors. Work intuitively, allowing the piece to unfold and lead the way.

In this final video we will look at making marks with our stitches, adding flowers and outlines, resolving your piece and wrapping up.

I loved sharing this lesson with you .
