Stephen at ANG A letter from the Owners of Rittenhouse Needlepoint Hi All, This is Russell, one of the owners of Rittenhouse Needlepoint and MyNeedlepoint.com. I thought I would say "Hi" and give you an update: Most of you know that Rittenhouse Needlepoint moved to a new location about a year and a half ago. The new space is almost 7000 square feet of space with 18 feet high ceilings in a building that is on the National Register. It certainly has been an exciting change for us. Keep reading to find some BIG news... Keep Reading Subscribe Past Issues Translate The Expert Series Continues Have you been watching? Stephen and Lami have been working to deliver a stream of new videos. We now have number seven posted, with... about a hundred to go! Check our Youtube channel for more videos. Hit 'Subscribe' to get updates on future posts. Upcoming Classes & Events We are in the process of finalizing our class lineup for 2020. There are lots of exciting things coming your way, including a Fundamentals II series, which will build off of what you learned in Fundamentals I! Quickly approaching is the Fall edition of our recurring 20/20 class on October 11th & 12th. For those that are new to our newsletter (and there is quite a few of you!), this is, 20 Stitches, 20 Threads: Subscribe Past Issues Translate (Pictured above: Sneak peak at 10 of the stitches and threads we will be working with!) We’ve streamlined things a bit – limiting the number of threads and stitches to twenty and reducing the price as well. This allows for more time to focus on the stitches, discuss the threads we're working with, and, of course, have some fun! We're working on some finishing options for this class, as well, so that you can put your finished swatches to good use. Also in October is the return of our Poinsettia Class, on Oct. 28th & 29th! A little winter magic right before Halloween? Our hope is that this will give you more time to enjoy the wintry theme, (and sparkly threads) through the holidays, when we all want to curl up by the fire and stitch!

Click Here to See Our Class Listing Sales: The Canvas Discount Program (CDP) Subscribe Past Issues Translate Our staff have been working on inventorying all in-store canvases - an endeavor that was quite overdue, but daunting to say the least. There are thousands of canvas designs on our report, many with multiple copies in stock! About the CDP: As soon as a canvas gets accounted for, it goes on sale, both in-store AND online. These discounted canvases come from a range of designers you probably know, like Whimsy & Grace and Kate Dickerson, as well as some that may be new to you. Some are classics, while others are discontinued. We have brick covers, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Dogs, YOU NAME IT. There are two things you should remember about the CDP: One: there are more designs added to the CDP every week - so keep checking back. And two: since these canvases are in stock, they are ready to ship immediately!

We had the honor of meeting her, and saw what a beautiful and special soul she was. Our thoughts go out to her family, we know she will be deeply missed and are thankful that we could help in preserving her memory.** Subscribe Past Issues Translate Pictured above: Petunia - Left, & Bella the Boxer - Right If you are familiar with the Painting Department at Rittenhouse Needlepoint, you are probably aware that one of our specialty subjects is dogs. We love to paint dogs! Dog paintings are a great way to immortalize a beloved pup, and we do our best to capture the spirit and personality of your canine companion. You can send us a picture that you want a straight copy of, or multiple pictures with multiple angles for reference. There’s also some opportunity for creativity, you can have your pet painted in a setting that they enjoy, with a pattern that complements your home, or with items that they love. These examples of Bella (the boxer) and Petunia (the white one) showcase two different ways you can set up your project. Bella is pictured on a beach, one of her favorite places to be. She was painted exactly from a picture. Petunia is shown against a patterned pillow and blanket that her owner liked, and was painted from a composite of photos of both the patterns and Petunia herself. As much as we enjoy painting a puppy, we are not limited to just painting dogs. We know there are many other kinds of pets out there that are just as precious and loved. Have a sweet kitty that brightens your life? A particularly energetic hamster? Some bright and colorful fish? Give us a call and we can put together a painting that captures the unique qualities of your special animal pal. Remember, the sky’s the limit with custom painting, if you can think it, we can paint it! Click Here To Get A Free Painting Estimate Finishing: Your Burning Belt Questions - ANSWERED! Needlepoint belts have been gaining popularity or, at least, it certainly seems like we block quite a Subscribe Past Issues Translate few of them in the finishing department these days! Belts are a great, low-key way to show off your love of needlepoint, as well as being functional! We tend to receive a lot of questions pertaining to sizing and how much to stitch/not stitch, and more, so here are some tips that may be helpful: (Pictured Above: Where the leather meets the needlepoint canvas) Belt length: Your needlepoint should be 6-7" shorter than your finished belt size. For example, if you need a 38" belt to fit a 36" waist size, your needlepoint should be 31-32" leaving 1.5" of plain stitching (or stitching you don't mind being covered up) on each end of your belt canvas (included in your finished length) so that no important design elements are lost to the leather ends that hold the belt hardware. Waste rows: We recommend 2 additional rows on each (long) side to be stitched, as it is necessary during the finishing process for at least 2 rows on each side to be turned over, so if the additional rows are not stitched, some design elements may be lost. Blocking: Belt canvases have their own unique challenges when blocking, and to make the process easier, as well as give the customer the best possible result, we recommend leaving 1.5-2" of blank canvas/space on each end of the design. Meaning, when a canvas is cut, and the design and stitching Subscribe Past Issues Translate go right to the end of the blank canvas, it makes the blocking process much harder if there is no blank canvas to pull on. Threads: We recommend stitching your belt canvas in either wool or cotton. You want to use a fiber that is durable and will stand the test of time. Acrylics are difficult to block, and both Acrylics and Silks are not as durable. The finisher in me also suggests that you use colorfast fibers, should your belt-wearer get caught in the rain! Stitch Suggestions: We recommend working in basketweave or tent stitch for the majority of your belt. Long, decorative stitches are not well-suited to finished pieces that will be subject to bending and twisting. Save those for your fabric-framed pillows and ornaments! And finally, if you love stitching belts but just have too many in your wardrobe, belt canvases can have more uses than just a belt! We also finish belt trays, bag handles, suspenders, and basically anything else you can think of! Our finishing team can walk you through all the fun options. Let your imagination run wild with the possibilities! A Note from the Editor on Stitching Belt Canvases: Hello Readers! I have been working with Rittenhouse in a number of different roles for almost three years. (Three years officially at the end of October.) I got my start as a part time finisher, and eventually found myself running our finishing department. As we saw the need to extend and enhance our digital reach, I moved on to working on our website, which is what I do now. I have also been coordinating our Newsletter for the last 6 months. But! It is almost impossible for me to stay away from the finishing department, and not just because I love their team! The treatment of Needlework will always be a passion of mine. So it should come as no surprise that the finishing article is always my favorite to edit. I may interject from time to time, now that I have Russell's permission.

We have created the “Stitch at Home Challenge” as a way to encourage and inspire people to stitch. This is not a competition but a challenge.

If you live close by, you may have the chance to come in and see your work on display at our school during one of our exhibits! What do I do with my finished piece? Your finished piece of art belongs to you but for each challenge there will be a deadline for you to submit either a photograph of your piece or the actual piece itself for display in an exhibit.

  • Editorial Calendar 2020
    PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF NEEDLEWORK Editorial Calendar 2020 There are stories to be told, and PieceWork readers want to read them. Whether it’s a personal account of a master knitter (“Bertha Mae Shipley: A Navajo Knitter”) or a well-researched article on the embroidery that adorned alms purses (“Charitably Chic: The Eighteenth-Century Alms Purse”), PieceWork is the place to share these stories. People who care about handwork and who value its past and present role in the ongoing human story are PieceWork magazine’s core audience. PieceWork explores the personal stories of traditional makers and what they made and investigates how specific objects were crafted and the stories behind them. In-depth how-to techniques and step-by-step projects make the traditions come alive for today’s knitters, embroiderers, lacemakers, and crocheters. Beginning with the magazine’s inception in 1993, we have explored numerous needlework traditions and needleworkers. We’ve covered the prosaic—mending samplers—and the esoteric—the Pearly Kings and Queens of London. The stories have been poignant—the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; inspiring—Safe Return Mittens; and entertaining—Rattlesnake Kate. Beginning with the Fall 2018 issue, PieceWork changed frequency from a bimonthly publication to a quarterly. The biggest bonus with this change was the addition of more editorial pages, allowing us to continue and expand upon PieceWork’s unusual blend of the elements behind a handwork tradition—who did it, how it was done, and why. Future issues will include core sections for techniques, including knitting, lace, embroidery, and crochet. Beyond these sections, there will be a wide variety of other needlework techniques.

  • Authenticity in the Revival of Orthodox Ecclesiastical Embroidery in Post-Soviet Russia Luba Dovgan Nurse, Dinah Eastop and Mary M
    Authenticity in the revival of Orthodox ecclesiastical embroidery in post-Soviet Russia Luba Dovgan Nurse, Dinah Eastop and Mary M. Brooks ABSTRACT The Russian Orthodox Church, together with the skills and practice of ecclesiastical hand embroidery, was undermined during the Soviet period of 1917–1991. The late 20th- century revival of ecclesiastical embroidery was possible because of the work of conservators and historians in museums in Russia who ensured the preservation of both the artefacts and the understanding of their ecclesiastical use. This paper focuses on the idea of the authenticity of these new embroideries, which is sought by the embroiderers as a key attribute to assert in relation to other types of ecclesiastical textile production. The case study provides a vivid example of the importance of authenticity and how it is invoked. Introduction argues, first, that this emphasis on authentic- ity manifests the Russian Orthodox Church’s This paper explores the nature of the ‘real central, but contested, position in Russian soci- thing’ by examining the authenticity attrib- ety and, secondly, that women have played an uted to embroidery made for use in the important role in constructing the perceived Russian Orthodox Church in the post-Soviet authenticity of this revived Orthodox art form. era.1 This ecclesiastical embroidery (tserko- Interviews with embroiderers and conservators vnaia vyshivka) has two names according to conducted by Luba Dovgan Nurse in Russia the techniques and materials used: metal thread in 2006 provide the primary source for this (zolotnaia) and pictorial (litsevaia). The latter research.2 term derives from the word lik meaning face, image or representation, and is closely related to the art of religious illustration as in the illus- trated biblical chronicles (litsevye rukopisi) and Revival of the Russian Orthodox Church to icons.

  • Georgian Flower II: Goldwork and Finishing
    Session 8: Georgian Flower II: Goldwork and Finishing In this session we are going to look at some goldwork stitches and techniques, as well as finishing off the embroidery itself. I will be showing you how to work with ‘Passing Thread’, which is an historical type of metallic thread which can be used for different stitches to give variety to your goldwork stitching. Passing thread was the main goldwork thread available during the 18th century when designs like this one were popular. It differs from Jap in that it is more tightly wrapped around its core, so it can be used to sew THROUGH the fabric in a way which is very difficult with Jap thread. You can also use it for all the stitching you can do with Jap, so I tend to use it most of the time! MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THIS SESSION: • Embroidery hoop or small frame • Embroidery scissors • Completed work from Session 7: Georgian Flower I: Silk Shading and stems • Needles: o Crewel needle, size 9-10 o Crewel needle size 6-7 (big enough to take the Passing thread) o Tapestry needle size 22 • DMC Embroidery cottons 552, 726, 904, 906 • Gold Passing or Tambour thread, either size 4 or size 6, about 1.5 m (1.75 yds) • Yellow sewing cotton. READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH BEFORE YOU START YOUR EMBROIDERY. SETTING UP YOUR FABRIC: Place your embroidery in the hoop and make sure it is taut. If you prefer, use a small roller frame or similar. Now you are ready to start stitching! WORKING THE EMBROIDERY: Finishing the cotton embroidery: All the stranded cotton embroidery is done with TWO strands of cotton in your needle.
