Caterpillar Stitch Binding

Fall workshops were off to a creeping and crawling start with the Caterpillar Stitch Binding taught by Rhiannon Alpers of Gazelle & Goat this past Saturday in Wishi Washi Studio.

Rhiannon's class samples

 

In the morning we learned the Hedi Kyle version of the Caterpillar Stitch binding:

and, in the afternoon we made Caterpillar stitches in the Keith Smith style - it was a lot trickier:

Making practice cards was key to learning these stitches and the Japanese hole punch was a handy tool to have in this class.

don't look too close - I made a boo-boo towards the end

As usual, everyone's work was spectacular.

Thanks to Rhiannon for teaching another great workshop in Wishi Washi Studio and we hope to have her back again in the Spring!
