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.

    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

    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.

  • Stalking the Wild Assisi by Baroness Kathryn Goodwyn, O.L

    Stalking the Wild Assisi by Baroness Kathryn Goodwyn, O.L

    Stalking the Wild Assisi by Baroness Kathryn Goodwyn, O.L. (a.k.a. Kathryn Newell) This article was originally written in 1995, and submitted to Tournaments Illuminated, the journal of the Society for Creative Anachronism. It was eventually rejected. The West Kingdom Needleworker's Guild kindly printed it in their newsletter in 1998, for which I am grateful. I fell in love with Assisi work many years ago but researching and collecting patterns of it has proved an elusive task. At times I have felt like a detective, and so I decided to share some of my frustrations and experiences with you. My interest in the subject started when I was researching SCA period needlework, just over 20 years ago. I would occasionally see some fascinating designs pushed to the back or side of a page or an article. The technique was the opposite of regular counted cross-stitch, as the design was outlined, then the background filled in densely with cross stitch. The actual pattern was made by the unworked ground fabric. This "negative" effect gave the Assisi work a woodcut quality that I found very rich and unique (Figure 1.) Figure 1. In the style of 16th-17th century Italian work. Chart © 2001, C.K. Newell The zoomorphic chart of beasties is one I found in a Dover book (no longer in my possession) on the subject of historic Italian lace. To my informed eye the style resembled Italian designs of the 16th or 17th centuries. I have subsequently seen a runner embroidered with this exact pattern, appearing as a photo in the book Old Italian Lace by Elisa Ricci.

    Blackwork Embroidery Pattern Generation Using a Parametric Shape Grammar April Grow

    Blackwork Embroidery Pattern Generation Using a Parametric Shape Grammar April Grow ABSTRACT Design tools with computational algorithms have been aiding artists for many years, primarily with image manipulation such as rotation, scaling, or applying graphical filters. However, there are many non-digital creative tasks that can benefit from computer- aided design. This paper presents an interactive parametric shape grammar for blackwork embroidery pattern generation, whose patterns are then implemented (sewn) using an unmodified home embroidery machine. A design tool executes the grammar guided user input, enumerates expanded pattern possibilities, and compiles patterns into an immediately sewable file format. The grammar is capable of generating published embroidery patterns as well as infinitely possible new patterns, and has future applications in other areas of design and crafts. Introduction “Embroidery” is a broad term that roughly encompasses any embellishment by thread or materials held or strung via thread on nearly any substance, most commonly on textiles. In the multi-millennial lifespan of embroidery, while many fundamental stitches remain the same, dozens of styles and approaches have been classified [1]. This paper chooses to focus on non-freeform blackwork embroidery, one of the most restrained styles, as a first approach to embroidery pattern generation. The objectives of this work include (1) representing counted-stitch embroidery digitally; (2) discovering local properties of stitches to develop into grammar rules capable of generating previously published blackwork embroidery Figure 1: Generated samples by our patterns; (3) offering those stylistically different parametric shape grammar grammar rules as agency to a designer of embroidery patterns; (4) providing instant visualization of enumerated pattern possibilities; and (5) enabling anyone to discover, explore, and enjoy blackwork embroidery or related applications of this grammar.
