CAMP STITCHALOT CLASSES

"The Eliza Pickney Sampler" is stitched on 30ct Tan Linen utilizing Soie d'Alger silk and Soie Perle silks with the dominant colors of the sampler being blues, gold, green and several shades of peach. The sampler contains a challenging number of specialty stitches that include Herringbone Leaf, Couched Cross, Quidobet, Leaf, Bullion, Spider Web, Algerian Eye, Triple Upright Cross, Brighton, Diamond Ray, Smyrna Cross over two, Greek, Rhodes Heart, Diamond Rhodes, Modified Eyelets (three types), Queen, Modified Queen, Horizontal Smyrna Cross, Fir, Modified Leaf, Fishbone, Rice over two, Norwich, Octagonal Rhodes, Banded Cushion, Kloister blocks and Fly stitch.
The stitches will be learned through the use of a preface piece which is a smaller design containing a great deal of the stitches contained within the larger sampler.
There will also be a discussion on Eliza Pickney who lived in the early part of the eighteenth century and was in charge of a plantation in South Carolina that grew the first cash crop of indigo. She is a fascinating historical figure because not only was she a successful crop raiser but went on to bear two sons who played a significant part in the American Revolutionary War.
