Snutki Challenge
I have been an embroiderer for many years and
twenty years ago
was very impressed by a Snutki doily at a guild exhibition.
There was little information on the subject so I began designing my own. I have exhibited most of
my doilies, one in USA, the others in New Zealand. I have had several magazine
articles published and have now put all my designs into kitset form.
It is a fascinating technique in
that all you need is:- 100% cotton fabric, a crewel
needle, a hoop that screws tightly and a stiletto or something that will work
like a stiletto, i.e. a sharp ended knitting needle. The threads used are also easy to procure. The
webs use crochet cotton and the eyelets use stranded
cotton. You will also need a very fine, sharp pair of embroidery scissors.
Are you interested
in a new challenge? You are!
Others are
available by e-mailing me
peta@farmside.co.nz
and I will mail you a catalogue of all my designs and books. You will love this new challenge, once you
have learned it you can ‘stitch and chat’ and not have to watch a pattern
as in cross stitch. You need to learn this technique so that you can
add a very rare piece of embroidery to your heirloom collection. It will
decorate your home with grace and elegance.
Thank you for visiting me, now please send me an
e-mail if you would like more information or register for a
newsletter from time to time. I stitch many other techniques which have won
local and national awards. I prefer traditional techniques but do from time
to time dabble in the creative side of embroidery. |
