This was the piece she taught in San Antonio at SCR in 2008. She is
teaching a different piece at the Needleworks in May.
This project is designed to study the effects of light on silk and patterns in
design. There are 40 different blocks with a multitude of stitches that
compose this design, in addition to the borders. She w ill discuss the
care and use of silk, silk laying techniques and pattern usage.
The project can be kitted in two different color ways: blues, yellows and cream

Congress Cloth. Each color way has two overdyed
silks in addition to the eight solid colors included in the kit. It will

square. Pre-work will be stitching the inner dividing bands before class.
