Our teacher was the delightful Belinda Karls-Nace, designer of Blue Ribbon Designs. If you ever have a chance to attend a workshop with her ~ do so! She is full of energy and besides giving us all the materials to complete the Harvest Huswif set from start to finish, we also received a binder with detailed instructions for every step of finishing it. Alot of us just kept repeating "Wow!" ~ especially afte we saw the finished sample! It was a wonderful workshop with a gorgeous piece to stitch. Thank you, Belinda!
Below are views of the inside and outside of her model of the Harvest Huswif. I don't think photos do it justice. Suffice to say that we were a very happy group with this design! We also completed a personalized scissor fob to go with it while we were there (or close to it).
Below is a pic of the beautiful thread holder given to us by Lois as part of our goodies for attending. Aren't the colors of Gloriana silk threads beautiful on it? On the right is the scissor fob before putting it together.
And of course I had to have my pic taken with Belinda with my finished "Halloween With a Y". Belinda is holding her model ~ Isn't that a gorgeous frame?!
Of course I can't go to Elegant Stitch without adding to my own stash and Lady Dot has the cutest items. I picked up a set of 3 green stacking boxes and used the middle size to complete my Thistle House. Yes, I probably could have stained some boxes myself and then lined them with moda but I knew I never would so this was a perfect solution! I love the color green!
