This toolie set was a class I took at the Carolinas Reginal Seminar with teacher Denise Harrington Pratt. The many types of stitches are done with silk thread and the box, which was part of the kit, was made by the teacher. I frequently see Denise listed as teaching at EGA seminars. I really enjoyed taking the class with her and love my finished box and toolie set.
This toolie set stays at home, where I can be sure to take good care of it.
Jo at Serendipidous Stitching is hosting a Stitch A Long the first Saturday of the month, with the topics chosen by her readers. This month's topic is "Most Popular Designer".
The word Most means just one. I'm not really a super fan of any one designer, but I have stitched more than one design from several designers. Maybe these are the most popular designers with me. So here goes --
Tanja Berlin - I've stitched three of her blackwork designs. I took the pheasants class with her at an EGA National Seminar and stitched the other two on my own.
Dorothy Lesher - I've stitched three of her dragons. I think I took the Sundragon class with her at an EGA National Seminar, and the Dragonmaster at Calloway School of Needlearts. The Moondragon was on my own.
Lynn Payette - both of these were classes at guild seminars.
Deanna Powell - both the beaded bag and the beaded shawl were classes at EGA National Seminars.
Denise Harrington Pratt - The box and the little toolies were a class at a regional EGA seminar, the small box kit and the many fobs were done on my own. I have no idea how many fobs I have made, but these are a few I have posted about on my blog.
Marion Scoular - the bee hardanger/blackwork piece was a class. The others were done on my own.
