Sue Reed was inspired to design this piece on a trip to Iceland. The piece combines the reds, oranges, and gold of fire with the blues and silver of ice to create an untraditional log cabin design. The bands are composed of various patterns. They are shaded from the darkest hues on the outside to the lightest hues on the inside, working toward the center where the fire and ice converge in a bargello pattern representing flames and icicles. The design area is 7” x 7”. The Kit includes Congress cloth with drawn design, threads, and booklet. Kit fee is $41 for Central Mass members and $75 for members of other chapters. Make checks out to “Central Massachusetts Chapter - EGA.”
Class Length: Three meetings - February and April; a March stitch-in to work on the piece.
You will need to bring: Stretcher strips to fit canvas cut to 12” x 12”; thumb tacks/staples to firmly secure the canvas onto the stretchers; tapestry needles in sizes 24 and 26; scissors for cutting metallic threads and scissors for cutting silk; laying tool; usual stitching supplies; light and/or magnification (Remember! The canvas is 23/24 Congress cloth!)
