SUMMARY:Bessie's Workbasket
DESCRIPTION:Come try your hand at candlewicking on October 9. Candlewicking\, a classic whitework embroidery technique\, has a distinct style that involves stitching primarily with Colonial knot stitches. In the early days of the United States\, especially during the Westward Expansion\, fine embroidery threads weren’t plentiful—they also wouldn’t have been efficient. However\, because the cotton threads used for making candle wicks were easy to acquire\, they may have become the material of choice for those who wished to add some embellishment to quilts and other sewing projects.
