Olympus: Coaster(s) kit

Pamela:   There are two coasters in this kit.   And, I see what you mean about "numbers".   Most kits are five coasters - I didn't notice until you made mention.

I don't know if I have a special thimble - I'm guessing I can use a sewing thimble.

Triple Lily Ornament

edited 30 April 2026

 Reverse Chain Stitch start.

Triple Lily Ornament

Kit + Instruction:  Melinda Sherbring

Two Day workshop via zoom.

 Practice stitching.   Learning the Ceylon Stitch, Elizabethan Double Ladder / w/curve.     I've never learned stitching on plastic canvas.   There are pros and cons - yet, it is easier to view at a glance, how the stitches are created.

 Raised Stem stitch, Raised Back Stitch, Raised Guilloche on cords.

 Practice for the 'finishing' edges. Double Edged Chain. Single Edged Chain. Linked Chains. Double Edged Linked Chains.  So, if ever I complete the lily piece, these are the options for completion.....

 

Sashiko? Mini Loom? Tools?

 Twisted Picot order in the mailbox.

I've been looking at the Sashiko kits + look forward to giving it a try.   And the mini loom (gift) .... cannot wait to try ; )    Button Station & Third Hand.  

This mini loom is too much fun.   Sky and prarie.

 Blast from the past ...

 Anita's Little Stitches has ball-tip needles.  I wanted to try the BOHIN ball-tip needles.   Very handy with teneriffe and nanduti.
