A Canvas Class on Diaper Patterns

Diaper patterns originated in weaving and now are worked in geometric, small repeating stitches.  The pattern is written by Lois Threlkeld,  a good friend of Connie Lapp Herrell.  Lois is a member of the Knoxville (TN) Chapter.  She has written several patterns including the Dogwood in Assisi that we worked last year.  We will be stitching the 2 7/8-inch square ornament that includes four diaper patterns and a decorative band.  The pattern includes a biscornu and a 5-inch square design using many of the same stitches.

Cost of the kit is $11.00 and will include the pattern, 24 ct Congress cloth, Kreinik #8 fine braid in gold, red ribbon and red fabric for finishing.  You will have to supply 2 colors of green floss and 1 red.  Suggested colors are DMC 699, 701, and 304.  Sign-ups will be at the September and October meetings.
