These small-scale designs, brought to life with lustrous filament silk, shimmer with a beauty that’s truly timeless. Over time, I’ve collected patterns and historical techniques with the goal of sharing them through a series of classes that go beyond surface design to explore the materials and methods that give them their unique radiance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"928\" data-start=\"710\"\u003eIn this class, we’ll focus on mastering the use of filament silk—learning how to handle and Soie de Paris for optimal tension control while working with a historically inspired palette to shade and highlight these exquisite patterns. Each month, one of the five pincushions in this first of four series will be worked.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1293\" data-start=\"930\"\u003eEach of the four series we’ll stitch is dedicated to a remarkable woman from Nuremberg's history—figures who shaped the landscape of female education, the arts, and the tradition of embroidery pattern books. Through needle and thread, we’ll not only explore historic technique but honor the women who helped preserve and pass down this enduring art form.  The lessons will include original historic research about each of the four women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1436\" data-start=\"1295\"\u003eThis fourth series of five pincushions concentrates on \u003cstrong\u003eAmalia Pachabel Berin\u003c\/strong\u003e, daughter of the composer Johann Pachabel.  She was a needlework teacher and designer, publishing a fabulous pattern book before her life was cut short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCourse Flexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Thistle Threads, we understand that life’s commitments can make it difficult to focus on a course every month.
