Rhapsody
incorporates five different patterns executed in floss and metallic
braid. Students will work with battlement couching to explore the effect
of color placement on this technique. Laying threads and couching are
emphasized in four other canvas patterns. The finished sampler of
stitches fits well in a Sudberry box or makes an excellent small pillow
to hang from a doorknob. Stitches learned in these squares can easily be
used for small, quick ornaments.
Students will be evaluated on how well they have laid their threads, the
neatness of their work, their tension, and how well the colors they have
chosen work with their battlement couching. |
