Ruth Talks Background Stitches

The monthly newsletter for Bedecked and Beadazzled is out.  In it Ruth talks about backgrounds and neutral stitches (those without a directional flow that moves the eye up, down, or down a diagonal).

Of course there is a lot of class news plus Ruth reveals her newest mystery class canvas but the real gold is her ideas on backgrounds.  Don't miss that!

Barbara Bergsten's colorful designs are perfect for beginning stitchers. Two different shops are offering beginner classes using her canvases.  In Stitches (Atlanta) is using one of Barbara's samplers,

...while Po's Point is offering a kid's camp for a week using Barbara's complex palm tree as a learning tool.  The beauty of Barbara's canvases is that more advanced stitchers can have just as much fun as a beginner with them. which means you can take a friend to class and both enjoy stitching away.
