I decided to work on Walk in the Woods by Deborah Mitek for a bit. It was the first of the three ANG Seminar classes I took in New Orleans.

It’s on Congress Cloth and has a photo transfer that we’re embellishing. Not everything gets covered. Her husband took the photo of ironwood a few years ago.

Her kits are so organized and clearly marked. We got plenty of needles. Partial skeins help keep kit costs down. That takes some time but makes following her instructions even easier!

Deborah has excellent instructions and I started at the beginning by finishing the border and the background fern-like grasses and wooded stems.

Now that I’ve added the stems of the ironweed and seed pods, I can tackle the ribbonwork!

There is so much going on that you can barely see where it is stitched in the photos. It’s visible up close and under my light. The ribbons will pop.
