Carolyn Standing Webb’s Diamond Pomegranate

Hosted by Muchas Manos and SDANG

It is understandable why Persephone could not resist this red silk pomegranate that is stitched on gold washed congress cloth. The design features both counted and uncounted stitches to create the glowing red and gold fruit. The threads include stranded silk, Accentuate, several types of gold thread and beads. The stitches include satin stitches, couching, fly stitch, and Algerian eyelet that are used in unique ways to create this eye-catching design.

Design size is 4.5 x 4.5 inches.

Muchas Manos de San Diego, EGA will be hosting the Exact Change Etui workshop with Betsy Morgan on June 18-19. This is a stimulating project that includes different color ways; design theory; linen fabric with silk threads, and full finishing instructions in a two-day format. The cost for the two day workshop is $199. There is pre-stitching that is suggested so we can dive right in with color and design. Lunch will be provided both days. The workshop will be at Scripps Ranch Community Center at 11885 Cypress Canyon Road in San Diego, California.  Please contact Jean for more information including nearby hotels.

This is an exciting opportunity as Betsy lives on the East Coast and does not make it out to California very often.  Please visit her blog to see her many designs and teaching projects.
