Pretty Petal Pins By Toni Gerdes

January 2012 Meeting Program

Kit/Canvas ordering is now closed
Program: January 2012 meeting

Pretty Petal Pin is a wonderful piece of wearable “needle art”. This intermediate level piece is a colorful multi-level pin with 3 color-way choices: peach/yellow, blue/green, or black/red. The peach/yellow and blue/green are soft summery colors; while the red/black is a dramatic combination. In this class, you will learn five stitches including a fun ruching-coiling technique. The finished piece is approximately 3 ½” in diameter. You will be working on 18 count mono-canvas, which will be included in your kit along with all threads and needles. The threads in the kit include DMC flosses and Rainbow Gallery Petite Sparkle Rays.

All instructions will be provided during the meeting. There will also be a template for those that prefer to use their own canvas without buying the canvas and/or kit.

Approximate design size is 3 ½ ” x 3 ½ “
Canvas Size 12” x 13”
