GATHER ROUND – FINISHING TUTORIAL

March 26, 2024 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

Gather Round Series – Gather Wildflower, Gather Butterflies, Gather Pumpkins & Gather Pinecones

 

Thank you for purchasing the ‘Gather Round’ charts!

I have included the original tutorial here as it was 1st presented in the Gather Round club. I plan to post a finishing tutorial in a video/FlossTube format as well so I can talk about the different vehicle for this finish (Perpetual Paddles from Chantelle’s 141 Design Studio vs the original slate round). This tutorial was ready 1st & since I suspect some of you are ready for it, I figured that I’d better post it!

You can print your tutorial here: Gather Round

For a quick reference, you will need:

  • 4″ round matboard circles (I will be posting kits with these for sale on the website 4/1/24)
  • batting (I like Warm & Natural)
  • Double Sided Acid free Stitchery tape (I sell it here on the website if your shop doesn’t have it)
  • Rick Rack from Lady Dot Creates
  • Perpetual Paddles from Chantelle’s 141 Design Studios
  • 1/2″ wide x 1/8″ deep neodymium magnets
  • usual supplies – rotary cutter, scissors, rulers, etc.
  • Thank you & Enjoy the Finish!

I love this part of my job! We were in Ames, IA f I love this part of my job!

We were in Ames, IA for a few days (Special Olympics Summer Games on the IA State campus). On the way home, we stopped at Prairie Rose Needleworks to visit Amanda! She opened her shop a year ago & it was wonderful to see it all in person!!

- love her storefront - great parking with restaurants close by
- I took home several of those nurge hoops
- a great selection of charts and threads
- awesome embroidery kits with books on Sashiko & Kogin
- I spy binders of my designs (I couldn’t help it 🤣)
- there we are…I’m fresh off the tennis court so not loving my hairdo!

It was great to see her again after Nashville Market. Check the shop out if you’re in the area or see her website!
