Sue spargo projects

A week of finishing!!! Oh my, it feels good to finish things, doesn't it?! Last October, I started the applique process, stitching chick bodies and wings cut from felled wool onto the wool background fabric. Seven months later, 16 chicks, embroidered with threads and beads, run free! Please click the picture to enlarge it, so you can enjoy the fanciful details. If you are new to this process, you can see the various steps and pictures of the chicks on these posts. Of course, they are…

Monday was the second time I've taken a workshop with Sue Spargo and it was even better than the first one I took in 2013! Because she was stitching at then end of the table I was sitting at as it was empty the first day SCORE! The first exercise she had us stitch was to do a combination of back stitching of varying lengths parallel to each other. Then she gave us some examples of what we could do with various woven stitches. This is Sue's bird that gave us some inspiration. Another of Sue's…

Finally, I can share this FAB-U-LOUS quilt with everyone. This Block of the Month 2017 is now available in book form so I can share the photos of one that I quilted. Lots of photos, click to enlarge. Very few words are necessary. ENJOY and savor the stitch work that KB did on this amazing treasure. Few stitch as good as her. KB worked on this all year, did not waver, and had it finished in time to take to a Sue Spargo retreat. How terrific. Keep the quilting simple, dense and make sure to…

Last weekend was a weekend to remember. Sue (and her friend Melissa) were out visiting Australia again and I was one of the lucky ones to have her visit my shop to teach! We ran a 1-day workshop where everyone...

Sue Spargo's BOM, In Full Bloom, for 2014. The wools to be used. More wools and the fabrics. I am full of appreciation and joy that someone gave me a gift certificate to be able to purchase this and more. An anonymous friend who wrote she hopes it will bring me hours of sewing enjoyment and much happiness in my life at this time. I have to say that I cried when I read that. Sue's book of embellishing stitches is on it's way for me to practice my stitches. One of Sue's BOM, Folklore, that I…

Today I had the absolute pleasure of taking part in a class with Sue Spargo at Material Obsession in Sydney. I have looked forward to this for so long and it has taken me several years to be able to do a class as I could never fit it in with work. Several weeks ago, I picked a kit from a choice of three. I came ready with my background wools stitched down as the class was all about learning to embellish. When Sue arrived she started off by talking about her work and what we would learn. The…
