Stitched by Pat Rozendal THE NEEDLE IS MY IMMORTALITY Teacher: Pat Rozendal The sampler is designed with three openwork techniques: Hardanger, where background threads are cut; pulled thread, where background threads are distorted; and drawn thread, where back- ground threads are removed. The openwork is combined with chal- lenging variations of traditional stitches such as cross stitch over one intersection, and back stitch over one thread. The satin stitch border is done with overdyed thread, and instructions are included for con- trolling the flow of colors; however, it will still test the abilities of the most experienced chart readers.
