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:
- 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.
- Parts of the canvas are left unstitched.
- Traditional needlepoint stitches have been adapted to give a light and airy background for the fuchsia flowers.
- Students are encouraged to create and stitch their own style of fuchsias with 7mm and 13mm silk ribbon.
- Videos will demonstrate how to stitch the fuchsia flowers, buds and leaves.
