Summer Kaleidoscope

“Summer Kaleidoscope” is stitched in a delightful colour palette reminiscent of the feeling experienced in summer.  Hot days, gardens filled with colourful flowers and green grass and leaves abound. The carnation and lavender colours represent the summer flowers, the green accents reflect the lawns and leaves . . . a wonderful representation for this time of year when there is great anticipation and transition, especially in our northern climates.   “Summer Kaleidoscope” incorporates string art and needlepoint stitches. As the design is being stitched, it begins to take on the appearance of shards of coloured glass, as if looking through a Kaleidoscope.  The overall design integrates over 40 different stitches including various types of Jessicas, Amadeus, Sprats Head, Fleur-de-Lis, Waffles, 12-point star and Wrapped Eyelets. Techniques include Bargello, Bias Bargello, Diaper Patterns, and Laid Fillings. This piece will appeal to those students who would like to try new techniques while challenging themselves by mastering complex canvaswork stitches.
