Late last month I was lucky enough to have the chance to take a class with Lorene Salt, a very talented canvaswork designer. The class was offered through the Toronto guild of the Embroiderer’s Association of Canada. I’m not a member of that guild (just the online one), but the ladies were nice enough to let me take part.
Corners and Curves, designed by Lorene Salt
The piece is called Corners and Curves and is just stunning in person. The picture, as always, doesn’t do any justice. The fibres range from silk/wool blends, to perle cotton, to Kreinik metallics, and all the colours go together so well.
In January I will be taking another class from Lorene, this time online through the guild I belong too. It is called Santa Fe, and as charted it is stitched in corals and teals. Coral, though, is one of my least favourite colours, so I will be substituting out all the fibres. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen some of the fibres I’ve chosen as replacements. I can’t wait to get started!

Wow! Blues are my favourite colours, so this really catches my eye. Well done!
Gorgeous! Really lovely colours…
Gorgeous Heather, both the design and the floss colors! It looks so intricate, I can’t wait to see the next class progress…you do beautiful work.
Hugs
Gorgeous. I love the teal spirals in the centre.
Wow that is a stunning finish! I love those colours.
Very pretty. I love doing canvaswork, but never seem to sit myself down to work on it. Something to change in 2017.
too Beautiful. It is a WOW
Oh this is beautiful and I know it’s even more gorgeous in person. Can’t wait to see the new one.
Wonderful piece of embroidery, stunning
Coral is one of my least favorite as well. Beautiful stitching! Pics may not do it justice but it looks gorgeous from here!
