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.
This was a pretty good month as far as my 17 in 2017. I finished the August Cat.
I worked on Queen Mary.
I worked on the Pansy Stumpwork.
And I finished the beaded shawl.
To see all of my 17 in 2017 projects, check out this page. To see the progress other participants have made, check it out here.
This beaded shawl was a class I took at the Chicago EGA Seminar in 2007. It's big (I think it is 14" x 68") and a little heavy with so many beads. The lining fabric is really pretty. It was difficult to get a good picture. I hope you get the idea of what it looks like with these photos.
This is one of my 17 in 2017 projects. After ten years, I have finally finished it!
Tomorrow, July 30th, is World Embroidery Day. This day began in 2011 with Swedish Embroiderer's Guild and has been celebrated annually since then.
I plan to stitch on this project of mine. What will you do to celebrate?
