Create a rather whimsical berry with birds fluttering about the fruit laden vines searching for the perfect lunch. Stitched with Gloriana, Soie d'Alger and Pearsall's silks on 35 Count Linen, the top is crowned with embellished leaves in felted wool. Finishing is easy and will be demonstrated in class. Barbara has developed some tricks that will make your berry perfectly balanced to show off the perky bird at his finest. Approximately 4" long, this berry will make a perfect pin cushion or tabletop object d'art.

The Rose Garden Pinkeep requires you to do prestitching from the kit sent to you prior to Celebration. Bring your completed piece to class where Linda will teach the construction. All of her finishing is done from the outside, so that the fabric is not stressed from turning it inside out. This method will produce very clean seams and points. The project is not intimidating and you will be surprised at how simple it is to put it together. Leaving class with a finished piece is your reward.
Kit includes: 32ct linen from Picture This Plus in the colors Conifer and Valor, Crescent Colours fibers, DMC, wooden spool, ribbon, double stick. Bring small iron, small ironing pad, fabric scissors.
