I'm going to be taking another of Clara Warschauer's goldwork classes (Clara Stitching). I'm enrolled in her Marian Monogram course scheduled for Saturday, March 1st. This is a class collaboration with Ecclesiastical Sewing in Minnesota to create a bible cover. The course is free, and kits are available for the goldwork from Clara, while the bible fabrics can be purchased from Ecclesiastical Sewing. The bible cover pattern is free from them, too.
One of the new techniques I'll be learning is using thread for padding the monogram. I already have Clara's supply kit, and plan on using my own dupioni silk for my ground fabric. I'm really looking forward to learning more from Clara in this online course.
If you're interested in learning more, you can go to Clara's webpage HERE. Once there, read her information and follow her links to get to Ecclesiastical Sewing. I'd love for you to join us!
Such pretty Goldwork.

I suspect you're going to love this class. A monogramed bible cover will be so classy!
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI agree. I purchased all the goldwork supplies, but I have a lovely champagne-colored dupioni silk I'd rather use than the royal blue. I also have a beautiful Oscar de la Renta brocade somewhere around here. I'm hoping there's enough fabric to make the cover. I guess I'd better check soon!
Stay warm!

Sherry of createology: My goodness you do find the most interesting projects and classes. This monogram is stunning. I shall enjoy following your progress dear.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteClara is so inspirational, and she's an excellent teacher. She loves doing religious-themed pieces. I'm interested in the historical and technical aspect of this pieces, too. You can count on me I'll share as I work on it.
