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.
