    Kente Inspiration œ Page 30 of 38 LE S S O N FO U R Brick Stitch Design area: Leaves & Stem block B, background Thread: Paternayan, Light green #613 Strands: 2 Paternayan, Medium green #612 The Brick stitch is a straight stitch over two threads, and is worked in horizontal rows. Each element is offset up or down one thread relative to its immediate neighbor. The stitch sequence is shown in 17 13 9 5 1 the diagram at right. It can be worked in either 19 15 11 7 3 direction. This stitch is used for the background of the Leaves and Stem Blocks (#3, 13, and 17). The background of these blocks is two-toned: the center strip is worked in two strands of the medium green Paternayan bracketed by a strip on either side worked in two strands of a 3 lighter green Paternayan. Block 13 is diagrammed below. The previously stitched 13 17 leaves and stems are shown in gray. The background color change occurs at the dotted line, which runs through the tips of the outer Diamond Ray Stitches. The strip on the left is 8 threads wide; the strip on the right is 9 threads wide. In order to fit better around the central motif, the Brick stitch is rotated by 90 degrees, as shown in the diagram. You may need to rotate your frame 90 degrees to stitch and lay the yarn comfortably. Place a waste knot about an inch and a half below —1“ and come up at —1“ to start the sequence.

Unavailable for a long time, nearly a decade, I believe, Marsha Parker of The Scarlet Letter reluctantly decided to reprint this reproduction. I’ve had it in my personal collection for many years and have always wanted to stitch it, and the best way for that to happen is to make it a Sampler of the Month ... so here it is! Here’s what Marsha writes about this sampler: Circa 1820, originally worked on fine tammy (wool) cloth with silk flosses, these two separate samplers were bound together, back to back, with pink grosgrain ribbon edging. They are quite compact yet comprehensive in scope, with wonderfully varied and detailed motifs including a cat on a cushion, a house, peacocks, butterflies, birds, dogs, and many flowering plants. The Scarlet Letter model was stitched over 1 on 35c similar to the original. However, you should stitch it on whatever is most pleasurable for you. Debra of our Attic staff let the 35-over-one get in the way of adding this sampler to her collection over 10 years ago, and she regretted it ever since.

Since the original was ruthlessly glued to the cardboard plate, we were not able to inspect the back side of the sampler. Therefore it was charted from the front side, reproducing the sampler in its present aged state. Some colors seem to be faded and altered over the years. Our guess is that the sampler used to be much brighter, with vivid greens and purples. I loved this sampler the moment I saw it! What’s there not to love? It has something for everyone: a beautiful floral border, Adam & Eve, Christ, a squirrel, a peacock, a butterfly, crowns, basket of flowers, etc. I love the fact that the ground fabric is barely visible. It’s a happy sampler, and it looks like Elise had great fun stitching it!

Yes, the long HOT summer of the Spring, Texas weather. It is a perfect time for stitching.

    Blackwork Journey Blog, November 2018 The nights are drawing in and Winter is fast approaching, so what better time to get your needlework out, look at unfinished projects and start new ones, just in time for Christmas! In ‘Tiny Treasures’ Part 2 this month you will find a Christmas Sampler developed from the flower motifs in the project. If you do not want to add the word ‘Noel’ just insert the blackwork blocks which can be found in the pattern or blocks from Parts 1 and 2. Taking threads across open spaces is not a good idea in needlework because they will show through on the front of the work when it is framed. Always complete each motif in turn before moving on to the next one and trim off all loose ends. Christmas Sampler from Part 2 of ‘Tiny Treasures’. This chart can be found in Freebies FR0162 and FR0163. I do not want to use Christmas reds and greens. What other colours could I use to make an elegant Christmas decoration? As an alternative I would suggest using vibrant royal blue and gold metallic or emerald green and gold. Metallic threads are not easy to use and I would recommend Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid PB01Bright Gold or DMC Diamant which comes on a reel. Always use a short length of metallic thread to reduce fraying and a larger needle than usual to reduce friction. ‘Noel’ worked in DMC 796 Royal blue. 1 Blackwork Journey © Blackwork Journey Blog, November 2018 CH0380 Smyrna Christmas CH0381 Smyrna Cross can be found in ‘Charts’ this month Last month I added a Christmas decoration to ‘Charts’ worked in Smyrna stitch.

    Fashion Studies Chapter 3 3.1.1 Understanding Fashion - Definition and Overview Fashion is an ever changing, vital and influential force that impacts our everyday lives. Our lifestyle i.e. - the way we live, what we eat, what we wear, and the activities we indulge in and how we spend our leisure time are all manifestations of this dynamic force. Fashion hence reflects a society's prevailing customs; it's political, economic and cultural state at any given point of time. Webster defines fashion as 'prevailing custom, usage or style'.* However, fashion is much more than just the clothes and Fig 1: Women and home magazine September 1959 issue; reflecting accessories. Fashion is also the spirit which goes into their lifestyle of the time creation, the money that is involved in promoting them and the people who wear the clothes. In the past, fashion emerged from the courts and the royal patronage. In history, several cities have been, in turn fashion capital due to the cultural power that these cities exerted in that period of time; this includes Milan, Rome, Venice, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna etc. However, it is the aura and allure of Paris that continues to draw international designers to the French capital to show their collection and to make a name. Thus France has sustained the image of the actual centre of fashion. Fig 2: Graduating Fashion Designers of NIFT serving in retail and export Fashion capital is hence a city which has the potential to industry be a major centre for fashion industry in which activities *Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, G.E.C Merriam Company, Springfield, Massachusetts, 1973, p.
