Day 2 of Spring Lollipop Garden by Tamara Abdee started with the Loop Stitch Flower.
The French Knot Ribbon Rose is Lynn’s variation of the one Tamara teaches. One of the most beautiful, delicate roses I’ve ever seen!
Next to it, I added a flower with rouched Soie Tissee by Silk Road Fibers. It is my own crunchy version of whatever flower you want to call it!
Ali, Lynn’s daughter, was very supportive during class on both days. She even volunteered to iron our ribbons! Such service!! Lunch both days were supplied by Fireside Stitchery. Nothing fancy but plentiful, healthy, and delicious. There’s an extra large table that we were all able to fit around and enjoy lunch away from our work areas.
Right after lunch, we worked on our Daffodils. We used a Tilli Tomas ribbon which creates a lovely effect because the edges are a slightly darker color.
The last of the afternoon was spent finishing whatever we wanted to do. I elected to finish my Blue Hydrangea (with a couple of French Knots and Colonial Knots to fill in the little spaces). Some class members shopped but I will be back on the 25th and 30th for Stitch-ins with ANG Main Line Stitchers and EGA Brandywine.
So, what does the canvas look like by the end of our 2 days? It looks like I’ll be doing 5 more big flowers, several small sequin ones, leaves, stems, a Birch tree, a nest, Robin’s eggs, and some background motifs. This will be fun.
It sounds like Tamara will be returning to Fireside Stitchery at some future date. In the meantime, while we don’t have stitch guides for specific painted canvases, we have been given enough instruction to tackle one.
