This month we learned how to do embroidery. Faith Ringgold was this artist who made a book with all her embroideries and it was very impressive. We had to first make an embroidery sampler so we could practice the 9 stitches and makes something that was original and we had the freedom to do what we wanted as long as we used all 9 stitches. To make these stitches we needed to use the hoop to make the material nice and tight so it would make it easier. We use a small needle to thread and embroidery floss with a color of our choice. There were so many colors that we could choose from which made it fun. Once we learned these skills we could use the skills that we learned to make things like pillows. Also one of my peers and I did a quick reflection with each other and bounce ideas off each other on what we could add and what would make it better.
