Repousse Stitch Tutorial UPDATED

The newest newsletter from Needlepoint for Fun has a tutorial for repousse stitch.  This is a raised wrapping technique perfect for a snake, a cat's tail, a rope, raised edge of a mirror, anything narrow and long on your canvas that you want to have a 3-D effect.

Repousse Tail UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff just posted progress photos on her newest mystery class, based on Michele Noiset's "Sitting Pretty."  Not only is it fun to see what Ruth's come up with to embellish the canvas, she throws in a free repousse lesson in case you need to add a dimensional line to your canvas.   The candlestick is pretty durn cool, too.

Thanks once again, Ruth!

UPDATE: Ruth's summarized the repousse technique in her latest newsletter.  Some folks may find this easier to follow.

Introducing Sitting Pretty, A Mystery Class (Michele Noiset) UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff's next mystery class will be Michele Noiset of CBK Designs' "Sitting Pretty" piece.  None of us, not even Ruth, know how the piece will turn out. That's part of the fun!  Plus we are left wondering if the cat is worshiping a mystical fish bowl or studying its next meal....

Stay tuned for updates as Ruth works her magic and "Sitting Pretty" comes to life.

UPDATE:  Ruth stitches the cat and his fabulous tail.
