The quaint English thatched roof cottage is depicted in this charming piece of needlework which delights the eye and the stitcher's fingers besides. The house is made of stucco plastered over half-timbers. The roof is worked in rows and rows of stem stitch to achieve that thatched effect. The piece de resistance is the bounty of flowers which surround any self-respecting English country home. A wild profusion of brilliant flowers tumble from the yard, down the walkway; they beguile the eye. Morning glories climb the wall. Roses proliferate along the fence. Daisies dot the walfway. A flowering hedge embraces the cottage and the blue sky completes the springtime effect. | |

Stitch these charming children, so reminiscent of life in a bygone era. You can recreate some children you know--yourself and your sister, or yourself and a friend. Perhaps you?d like to render your two daughters in needlepoint, or even your beloved granddaughters. You make this composition your own. The student will choose the floss colors for the children, selecting appropriate hair colors, as well as the floss for the children?s clothes. Hair styles will be created in class, from the curly heads of the teacher?s design to braids or shiny straight hair. You also choose the appropriate colors for the children eyes. The small items held by the children are worked on 30 count polyester gauze which is worked prior to coming to class. These are easy to do, and work up quickly. Finally the background will be filled with beautiful flowers, all created with clever textured stitches in wonderful colors. This is a fun piece, and one you will love to give, or keep for yourself. | |
