About the Fields of Gold Cyber Class

Fields of Gold is a brand new Orna Willis design and is offered here for the first time in partnership with The Shining Needle Society. 

The piece is an intriguing blend of symmetry and free-form design.

The project consists of four triangles that come together to form a diamond. The diamond is then wrapped in a beautiful frame of silk crescent stitches “dancing” around its edges. In each of the four triangles, you will find interesting stitches that will challenge you. There are Crescents, Jessicas, weaving, couching, laying of threads, just to name a few of the skills learned in the class. With Orna’s guidance, each of these stitches will be broken down and dissected so that students will learn the tricks to bringing out the best in each stitch. You will learn tips that you will take on with you to any projects you stitch in the future. 

This project is recommended for intermediate-advanced stitchers and the ability to read charts is a must.

Fields of Gold is stitched using 32 different threads, the vast majority of them being silk. The luscious threads have rich hues and clever overdyes, and they come to you from Gloriana (Princess Perle), Planet Earth, Access Commodities (Trebizond), Gumnut (stranded silk), and more! The colors are characteristic of Orna: bold and unique with dazzling combinations.

Orna’s instruction guides are works of art in themselves. They are beautifully presented in color. As part of your kit, you will receive a set of full-color Master Charts that are laminated so that they stay in pristine condition for years to come.

The design size is approximately 11.5” x 11.75” and the project is stitched on 18-ct mono canvas (cut size: 15” x 15”). The kit includes threads (32 of them!), canvas, and needles presented beautifully. All kits also come with color laminated Master Charts. Fields of Gold will be taught in 5 lessons. Each lesson will be accompanied by videos, written lesson pages, charts, and photos.

Students will supply 15” x 15” stretcher bars and usual stitching supplies. Orna recommends Evertite ™ stretcher bars. 

Orna has years of experience teaching and bringing the art of stitching to life. As in her designs, Orna manages to create an inspiring, informative, and entertaining environment all at once!   Come experience it all for yourselves!
