September Program - Feather Stitched Linen Hand Towel


Our program for September will be a feather stitched linen hand towel suitable for your guest bath or a lovely gift.  We will learn a simple feather stitch, then embellish it with Jeannie B's old fashioned bullion rose and some lazy-daisy leaves.  A kit will be available for $5.00 that will include the hemstitched linen hand towel, white floss, directions, and the appropriate needles (11 Sharp and 8 Milliner).

 If you have Jeannie B's Book of Embroidery Designs and Stitches, please bring it.  The A - Z Embroidery Stitches book is also helpful.   You will also need a fine point wash-out marker.  There will be two light boxes for copying your pattern onto the hand towel.  Of course, bring embroidery scissors, your thimble, if you use one, and magnification.
