Stumpwork Butterfly
Monday, October 5, 2026 at 9:45 a.m.
Corning Senior Center and remotely
Stumpwork Butterfly, designed by Judy Jeroy, is a beautiful dimensional embroidery project that combines traditional stumpwork techniques with delicate surface stitching. Participants will learn how to create raised elements such as wired wings and detailed textural effects to bring the butterfly to life. Directions are available on the EGA website and here.
Begin thinking about your favorite butterfly and the colors you would like to use, as this project can be completed with floss and materials from your own stash. Please let Jean know by September 14 if you plan to participate; she will provide wire at no cost and stitchers will provide their own stitching materials. |

Heron Virtual Class
April 10 & 17, 2027 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Heron, stitched on congress cloth, is a lovely interpretation of a Great Blue Heron standing quietly in a marshy setting. The design is based on Jennifer Riefenberg’s original watercolor painting of a crane. This piece explores a variety of interesting stitches and patterns, using silks, metallics, and other specialty threads. The soft color shading and gentle background help create a peaceful, natural feel.
Registration is closed. Heron is being offered at the Stitchers' Great Escape Seminar hosted by Mid-Atlantic Region June 16-20, 2027.
