November brings the final installment in the Alison Glass Stitch Club series.
This month's topic is wool applique.
Several different styles and techniques were discussed in the newsletter, but the "look" that caught my eye was Sue Spargo's work. I stitched up a fun pincushion using some wool and buttons for embellishment. For the back, I finished some of the strands of floss left over from the front, using the kantha stitch that was presented in the first month's Stitch Club.
I have enjoyed participating in this monthly series, exploring a different style of handwork each time. I enjoyed doing "stitching" at many earlier times of my life, and it was pleasant and relaxing to revisit this type of work. There is already talk of a new Stitch Club for 2021, and I will be looking forward to it!

Beautiful! I used to love embroidery and other hand crafts but my fingers go numb now after just a few stitches so I had to give it up. I know I should ask my physician to evaluate the problem -- carpel tunnel, perhaps? -- but I resist being poked at. Especially now in my 70's, when I expect to have to get used to these kinds of inconveniences. Still, when I see something so pretty and think about the fun of a subscription, I am tempted.
I like Sue Spargo as well. She has a block of the month on her website. Your pillow is darling!
It is indeed a fun pincushion! I would love to play with wools but it would mean a whole 'nother stash and that I don't want to do (and don't have room for anyway).
