My Student's Work - So Proud!
I started teaching Carolina and Ana in July of this year. Unusual for Moldovans, neither had done any needlework since elementary school. They both took to it like ducks to water, and a couple of weeks ago, Carolina brought some of her work over for my husband to photograph. I'm so proud of her! They're all gorgeous, and she's done so well with different patterns, making up her own designs, and picking great color combinations. She's getting better than I am!

New Class Start
We've moved on to more difficult things in my temari class. We're beginning the C8 marking. The pattern we picked is one from a temari given me in an exchange. Mine, from the colors I picked, reminds me of a tobacconist's shop.

Renzoku Start
I started this temari during the teaching session a week ago Sunday. I think it'll be pretty nice once I finish it!

Freeform Temari
I've got this about halfway done; my students wanted to learn new stitches to use on temari, and I obliged. They learned detached chain, stem, spider web, fly stitch, and how to make silk ribbon irises!

Teaching Kiku Done
This was the first pattern I taught to my students last month. I picked what I thought would be a bit wilder colors, especially the Havana (green/purple combination) Watercolours, but the teal ball toned them down quite a bit. The two poles are different versions of kikus for my own amusement. The ball itself was given as a gift to Liuba, the host mom of a peace corps volunteer here in Moldova. Once the weather cools and the pace of village life slows some, I'll be teaching her how to make them too!

A Bit of Weaving
Since I was teaching Ana this pattern, I had to make it myself, too! Here's my version. I used kyo-temari thread and a 25 cm diameter ball. I think it turned out pretty neat.

A Teaching Temari
In October and November I'll be teaching temari to my local embroidery guild. This is the pattern I chose. I made the temari to show at the June meeting to start the sign ups. They're pretty excited. The October meeting will be making the mari itself, and then in November we'll mark and stitch it.

Surprise!
Yes, it's done, and I never blogged about it! Why? Because it's a teaching project for the ANG's Cyberpointers. I'm the education vice president and have been working on this for over six months. It's going to be the January program. Join Cyberpointers! Get this design! It's an original by myself and my daughter. She drew the shapes and I did all the stitch choices. Oh, and she piced the silver Japanese gold for the lines. I'll have this finished into a book sleeve later this week, and will teach you how to do it too in the instructions.

Fair Maiden Is Now Truly Finished
Yesterday I taught the last of the four sessions on the needle purse. Well ... I thought I was going to teach about putting it together, but it didn't work out that way. Since I was teaching the finishing, I thought it was high time I put mine together. Here it is closed; I used ribbon instead of twisted wool for the close ties. I like how it came out.
