Ukrainian Embroidery Workshop

Updated 06/09/2012

Diamond Ornament

Saturday, September 8, 2012

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.

Per Nordic Needle Web site:

*  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.

Company Overview

Celebration is the oldest, continuously running needleart show in the U.S. and Canada. It is our goal to continue to provide the best opportunity for local shops to exhibit at a major regional show as well as to unite nationally known designers to teach in New England. Our success is a direct result of hundreds of needle artists who have come to take classes and to hear lectures from the finest teachers we can find and to shop at a marketplace with booths bursting with the latest up-to-date merchandise.
