Studio is over until next time (perhaps February). I was there for most of the days until today, when I had to leave early.I learned a lot. I stitched the foundation for the tie-dye fan stick and began to stitch the tie-dye pattern. Once I learned the pattern, I left it to do on my own and moved on. I learned how to pad the plum blossoms and stitched the pale pink one and started the darker pink flower. Time was running short so I began the other "new to me" technique, gold couching. I got far enough to turn a corner and will continue on my own.
More than what I stitched and learned on my piece, the general atmosphere of Studio is just wonderful and there are always things to absorb. I'm working Golden Fan, which Ruth has done. Ruth is working on several pieces, she's more advanced than the rest of us. Margaret is starting cords, which Rosa and I will soon be doing. Rosa is doing a different fan (which Margaret just completed). So we're all learning from each other all the time. I'll miss it 'till next time.
