Exploring the Creative Process Using the Trellis & Loop Stitch

Exploring the creative process using the Trellis Stitch, Loop Stitch, Bullion Knot & Needle Weave Bar Stitch, inspired by Sue Spargo's Toned-Down Circle Sampler, stitches, and threads.
These videos are about exploring creativity, design and the ways to incorporate embellishment threads and different embroidery stitches to create a unique design on a 1" wool circle. The Exploring the Creative Process videos are much faster than the in-depth videos I have done on every one of the stitches used in this video. If you want to watch a slower, more in-depth demonstration of the stitches, please click on each of the videos that I link to, within this video. All the links are found in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Join me and stitch along!

**As Sue is removing all of her circles and videos once the 90 days for this project are over, I decided to design my own circles so I wouldn't need to take all of my videos down too. It seemed like the easiest solution, particularly as it's a fun challenge to come up with designs for so many 1" circles! I have created an #InstaStitchWithSue Playlist, which houses ALL the videos I've made that are specific to her project.

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines later, I found Sue Spargo in 2015 through her Craftsy class, and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published numerous articles for various magazines, newspapers, as well as the Huffington Post, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.
