The Winders’ Keeper is a reticule designed to hold silk winders and needles. Historically a reticule is a small drawstring bag decorated with embroidery. The embroidery was inspired by motifs on early samplers from the Quaker schools, including Ackworth in England and Westtown in Pennsylvania. The two part Online Tutorial will provide complete instructions and materials for the Winders’ Keeper, eight Silk Winders and the coordinating Pinball. The Tutorial offers countless learning opportunities, all in one project. You will experience working with three types of silk thread, several stitching techniques and simple hand-work assembly (no sewing machine required). The Winders’ Keepers size is 7 1/2“ in diameter when closed and 11“ across when open. The pinball is 1 3/4“ in diameter.
