Chapter Group Correspondence Class (GCC) for 2025
Love & Laugh with Denise Harrington Pratt
This piece offers the student a great opportunity to play with a lot of different stitches
that are used in unique ways to create vibrant, stylized flowers. When stitching the central
area, students may wish to insert representations of their pets to make the sampler uniquely
theirs. No pets? Add flowers or shrubs or whatever you desire, or just keep the yard as
pristine lawn.
Not up for stitching the full sampler? You may opt to stitch the mini-sampler instead.
It has all the stitches in it. You can always stitch the full sampler later. Instructions for
hemstitching are also included in this text so you may prefer to stitch the table runner option.
Our chapter will be working on this in the Fall of 2025 at our meetings and on zoom.

Fall is on the way, but the fall colors have not peaked at Laurel Mill. Create this North Caroline scene using numerous Weeks Dye Works overdyed threads, stranded embroidery cotton and Accentuate. Learn to paint a section of the canvas. Use thread blending to create realism in the mill’s weathered boards and to add some variety to the sky. Canvas stitches include Nobuko, Serendipity, the Water Stitch, French knots and more. Use a few sharp needle techniques to stitch the tree trunks and the evergreen sprays on the cedar tree.
