Tricia Nguyen will teach two workshops on Saturday August 21. They are the Jacobean Silk Purl Flower and the Abby Cozzens 1836 Family Register Sampler. Click on the picture for a larger image.  Tricia will teach a workshop based on the 1836 Abby Cozzens sampler from Tricia's private collection. Tricia will teach students the technique of unravleing filament silk to produce krinkle silk fibers to be used in satin stitches for a very unique look. The sampler is worked on a dark tan background with a central counted area of stitching (over 2) which frame the register information. Bordering the columns is a set of undulating old rose vines worked in satin stitch with crinkle silk. Our interpretation will be smaller than the original, while maintaining the original proportions. Each student can supply their own family information as the sampler was never filled in by Abby. The linen will be outlined and pre-marked with a light brown ink. We will each be making a lovely reproduction with our own personal family names included, and learning a lovely crinkle silk technique!
*** Tricia recommends that students bring an 18 inch roller frame to class in order to mount the linen before stitching.  Kit fee is $120. Sign up deadline is June 13. Sign up deadline is June 13 because of the unique fibers that need to be assembled for the kits.
