Show 8W The Salt Lake Tribnae Sunday, November 27, 1983 Translating stories into stitches There is nothin- g- book outline to fill in with By Erica Wilson a 4 Ernest Shepard is famous for bringing Winnie the Pooh into the lives of millions of children all over the world. His simple drawings made absolutely nothing - A. A. Milnes delightful story about Chris- - K topher Robin andl his friends come to life. Pooh, Pig-- j let, Kanga and I Roo were just as real to the chil-- j dren who read! & 5 TOS- S- "31 as sfnply nessing Ms. Wiliun their own families were. Translating these stories into stitches can be very satisfactory, because apart from being fun to do, these designs will go on appealing to generation after generation. In my latest book, Children's World, to be published this month by Scribners, I have suggested all kinds of techniques for interpreting them in needlework. One of my favorites is what I call coloring book cross-stitcBy overlaying any simple childrens book illustration with Trace Erase (TM) fabric (that web, available at fabric stores) you can trace the outlines through with a pen. Then stretch some Aida (evenweave cross-stitc- h fabric) in an embroidery frame. Baste your traced web with the design in position on top. With one thread of black embroidery floss, work all outlines in backstitch. Now Theres Outline Then, tear away the Trace Erase (TM) fabric inside and outside the design. You now have a coloring h. non-wov- r about in boats panel from Erica Wilsons Children's World. Cross-stitc- h SEE FOR YOURSELF WHY JEAN PAREES HAIR PIECES AND WIGS ARE TECHNICALLY SUPERIOR PRINCE (MONO) HAIRPIECE S1 & 9500 rately trace and work the drawings ing. cross-stitc- Embroidering Stories in Stitches by this method eliminates unnecessary lines and marks on the fabric. It also enables you to accu felt-tipp- . h! from the books, because you only not first have to trace them once on to tracing paper and then on to cloth. You can also work on any colored background light or dark. Cross-Stitc- h Panel I used this method to work a h panel from The Wind in the Willows. I adapted drawings of that indomitable character, Toad, and put them together with one of the most famous sayings in the book There is nothing absolutely1 half so much worth doing nothing as simply messing about in boats. The phrase combines with a series of pictures of Toad falling over in his rowboat to make a wonderful giftfor anyone who likes sailing or boating. In fact, to show their good Yacht sportsmanship, the New York Club might consider hanging the used panel where the Americas Cup to be! Panel accents slim line about them as half so nuch worth doin- g- cross-stitc- Use three strands of cotton floss on No. 14 Aida cloth, and compensate to fill the comers with half stitches, as required. If you wish, you can experiment with novelty stitches such as turkey work or long stitches worked vertically or horizontally to highlight your draw- The shirred panel is loose at one side, playing up the sleek and slender line of Printed Pattern A516.
