This is my very first pilot class project which I am doing as a "ghost stitcher" for Terry Dryden's new design called Flower Diamonds which is being offered for the first time at the 2009 ANG Seminar in Milwaukee on August 31 & September 1st as a 2-day class. You can see more information on your ANG Seminar supplement on page 20.
.
There are over 30 different threads and six different assorted beads that we can choose from to stitch this piece. Lots of those threads I have never seen before so this is very very exciting for me. It is a bit like letting a child loose at Disneyland (grinning). On my photo above, I am showing only a few of those gorgeous threads to give you an idea of the colors involved. Jan on her blog has a picture showing them all so you may want to pay her a visit.
.
Terry Dryden has finished hers as a neck roll pillow, which sounds very good to me. I used to have one and have no idea where it went but I can tell you that I have not seen it in ages. I know some of you may be thinking that this is way too beautiful to use it like that, but if you want to feel like a "queen" then that is the way to go and I do love that feeling (grinning).
.
The design size is 6 inches by 15 inches and I already had the necessary stretcher bars 12 inches by 20 inches so I am ready to start working on it today and can't wait to get going.
.
Jan has already started working on hersa while back and she has one section completed. You can read about it on her blog.
.
I do not want to duplicate the information that Jan has already given on her blog about this project nor add the same photos as she already has, so will see what I can come up with that will be a bit different and show you how beautiful this project is. Just the colors of the threads and beads have me salivated. If you don't see me for a while, you will know where I will be and what I will be doing, right? "Disneyland"
