Class listings updated

I spent much of yesterday updating the class page on my website. It is fully updated now, with all the details that I have so far. There is a visual listing of all the projects, so you can see all the photos together, and a calendar listing so that you can see what will be near to you, and when. You will see that I really am going to be very busy with teaching over the next year or so!

I also added a new board, Embroidery Classes with Yvette Stanton, to Pinterest so that you can see all the upcoming class projects there too.

The big announcement is that I can now reveal what I will be teaching at the Berrima Patchwork Quilting in the Highlands Retreat in July next year. Registrations for the retreat classes opened yesterday. I will be teaching two two day classes:

Suzani Embroidery Applique Panel
Expand your embroidery stitch horizons with a range of stitches that can be used on raw edge appliqué. This panel (which is based on beautiful Suzani designs from central Asia) uses everything BUT the usual plain blanket stitch edging. Learn stitches such as Palestrina, overwrapped bullions, half chevron, couching and double chain stitch. Kits will be supplied with all fabrics already adhered so that we can immediately begin the fun stuff – working embroidery stitches! This class is suitable even for people who have never tried embroidery before – all skill levels are welcome!

Mountmellick Daisy and Forget-Me-Not Cushion
We will be creating a cushion with a pretty design featuring daisies and forget-me-nots. All stitches will be taught in class, and a demonstration of the traditional knitted fringe will be given. This class is suitable even for people who have never tried embroidery before – all skill levels are welcome! The embroidery stitches will be learned and the cushion embroidery started in class. Cushion construction and knitting will be done in your own time following the class.
