Ukrainian Embroidery Workshop


Teacher:
*Terri Bay

In stitching this ornament, you will learn the basics of Ukrainian Whitework and the Mereshka Poltavska technique.  The ornament is approximately four inches square when finished, using 25-count linen +perle cotton.  

In class, we will learn the Mereshka, and discover the joys of the most often used stitch in Ukrainian Whitework - the eyelet!  As tension is critical in this style of needlework, use of a Q-snap or hoop is strongly advised.

The kit includes:  25-ct linen, perle cotton, needle + detailed instructions.

Students will need to bring:  In addition to usual stitching supplies, please bring a hoop or q-snap and sharp embroidery scissors.

Cost of workshop for kit and food:
$45.00 (members) 
$55.00 (non-members)

*Terry Bay has never met a needlework technique she didn't like.  Like so many others, she began with cross stitch + progressed into hardanger embroidery, pulled + drawn thread work, blackwork, Ukrainian whitework, Roumanian point lace, & many others.

Her designing was born out of frustration over the very small amount of printed works on Ukrainian embroidery.  A born teacher, Terri has a degree in Music Education form Indiana State University.  She has taught music + needlework in many forms, including her popular Ukrainian whitework classes at the Nordic Needle Retreat in Fargo, ND.

She is a member of the St. Paul Needleworkers Chapter of the EGA.  

She currently lives in Minnesota with her husband, three daughters, and a very tubby cat.




*  Terri Bay loves all types of needlework, but has a true passion for counted thread techniques. She adores Hardanger, Ukrainian and Pulled/Drawn Thread work. She also enjoys construction boxes and toys and is becoming quite fond of Romanian Point Lace. Terri lives in Minnesota with her husband and three daughters and a very tubby cat.
