Description

Silk ribbon fuchsias dance over a background of 12 needlepoint stitches worked in delicate pastel tones of Gumnut Yarns Poppies (50% wool and silk). This thread is dreamy to stitch with. The features of this course are:

1. Once the needlepoint is completed you have the choice of having the needlepoint horizontal or vertical before adding the fuchsias. The sample is stitched vertically.
2. Parts of the canvas are left unstitched.
3. Traditional needlepoint stitches have been adapted to give a light and airy background for the fuchsia flowers.
4. Students are encouraged to create and stitch their own style of fuchsias with 7mm and 13mm silk ribbon.
5. Videos will demonstrate how to stitch the fuchsia flowers, buds and leaves.
