In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

The sample was composed of fifty crewel embroidered items, believed to have been created between 1620 and 1781, within the geographic boundaries of New England. A data sheet, plus color slides or black and white sketches, were used to record information pertaining to each embroidered item.

Thread of the Month: Stef Francis 12 Ply Silk 4. Stitch of the Month: Little Wavy 5. Notes on Needlepoint Our First Two Big-Time Classes Why do I say, "Our first two big-time classes?" Well, because this is the first time in the nearly ten years that we have been open that we will be bringing in professional teachers to our store to teach. And boy are we excited! First up is "78 Stitches, 78 Threads" with Ruth Dilts. This wonderful class is a crash-course in all things Rainbow Gallery. You know Rainbow Gallery threads. You've been using them forever. They are those threads that come on cards https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?e=[UNIQID]&u=9b9b7549e5c8f818070e0508c&id=d352853db8[6/26/2018 4:17:38 PM] and are on the ubiquitous spin racks found pretty much wherever needlepoint supplies are sold. True confession here -- I've been in the business for a while now and even I have trouble keeping all the names of their products straight in my mind so I can only imagine what a jumble it must be for people who don't handle them every day. Well, now is your chance to start untangling that confusing web. And best of all with this class you will end up with a permanent reference volume to take home with you so that in the future you need never be confused by the plethora of Rainbow Gallery options ever again.

  • Basic Needlepoint
    VISIT OUR OTHER NEEDLEARTS BASIC NEEDLEPOINT TUTORIALS AT www.beadseast.com WHAT YOU’LL NEED: Needlepoint canvas, 3” larger than your desired finished size; fiber appropriate to the gauge of the needlepoint canvas (in our tutorial we’ll assume you’re using 14-to-the-inch interlock canvas and a full strand of embroidery floss or tapestry wool); #10 embroidery needle or size 24 tapestry needle; masking tape; scissors 15 19 23 17 21 18 16 24 20 Before beginning, tape the edge of your canvas with masking tape and22 round the edges (photo, above) to minimize tangling or catching. Secure threads by holding one inch on the back of the canvas and catching the thread end in the first few stitches; end a thread by running it under stitches on the back of the canvas, one or more times until secure. When deciding where to start, allow a margin of about 1.5” all around, which will allow enough margin for blocking should it be necessary. There are three basic stitches used in traditional needlepoint: Continental stitch, half-cross stitch, and basketweave stitch. You’ll probably use all three within each project. 22 20 8 6 2 2 4 6 8 10 12 21 19 7 5 1 1 3 5 7 9 11 24 18 10 4 13 15 19 23 17 21 9 18 16 24 23 20 14 22 17 3 26 16 12 25 15 11 28 14 27 13 HALF-CROSS STITCH is also worked in 2 4 6 8 10 12 30 back and forth rows with a rotation of the1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 19 23 17 canvas at the end of the row.

  • Silverwork and Sequins
    Session 2: Cornucopia II: Silverwork and sequins In this session you will be learning how to couch metallic threads, both Jap Thread and twist. You will also learn how to stitch sequins in place using a bead. Metallic threads add a touch of sparkle to your embroidery designs. They are made by tightly wrapping a flat metallic strip around a core of cotton or silk thread. This produces a shiny thread which can be bought in a range of sizes. There are particular ways of stitching with metallic threads which you will learn in this session. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THIS SESSION: • Embroidery hoop or small frame • Embroidery scissors • Needles: o Crewel/embroidery needle size 10/12 o Large-eyed needle such as a chenille or tapestry needle (large enough to take the metallic threads) • The worked embroidery from Session 1: Cornucopia I: Blackwork Infills • Silver Jap Thread • Silver Twist Thread (or DMC silver metallic stranded thread) • Grey sewing cotton • Silver sequins, 3-4 mm, either round or flower-shaped or both: about 5-6 in total • Silver or clear seed beads, one per sequin plus one spare READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH BEFORE YOU START YOUR EMBROIDERY. WORKING THE EMBROIDERY: HORN-OF-PLENTY SECTIONS 1. Place your worked piece from Session 1: Cornucopia I: Blackwork Infills in your hoop or frame (if it isn’t still there!) 2. You are going to use a technique called COUCHING to stitch the silver threads in position on your embroidery. Metallic threads are often too heavy to stitch through the fabric and the outer metallic cover will separate off if you take them through the fabric too often.

The fertile soil, mild tempera- ture, and booming production of silk fabric and thread naturally nourished the burgeoning and flourishing of Suzhou embroidery. According to "Shuo Yuan", written by Liu Xiang during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD), the country of Wu (current Suzhou area) has started to use embroidery to decorate garments over 2,000 years ago. As described in the book of "Secret Treasures of Qing," the Suzhou embroi- ders in Song Dynasty (960-1279) used "needles that could be as thin as the hair. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Suzhou has become a thriving center for silk industries and handicrafts. Artists in Wu area, represented by Tang Yin (Bohu) and Shen Zhou, helped the further development of Suzhou embroidery. Embroiders reproduced their paintings using needles. These works were so vivid and elegant as to be called "paintings by needle" or "unmatch- able even by the nature." Since then, Suzhou embroidery evolved a style of its own in needle- work, color plan and pattern.
