Guadalupe Rd, Suite 109 Mesa, AZ 85202 TELEPHONE THE ATTIC (480)898-1838 2014 August 1 Issue No. 14-16 www.atticneedlework.com TOLL-FREE: 1.888.94.ATTIC August Sampler of the Month “Elise Schlüter” from Gigi Here’s what Gigi says about this sampler in the chart: This attractive (presumably German) woolwork sampler has been stitched by Elise Schlüter in 1866. 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!

More Beautiful New Samplers from Gigi 2 Gigi says about this sampler: This beautiful Dutch sampler originally was stitched on very fine uneven-weave linen with silk threads. The original is almost square. Stitched on even-weaved linen, the sampler will obtain more rectangular shape. The name of the girl who stitched this sampler probably was Helena Willems. ‘Helena’ is stitched at the end of the first alphabet line, but ‘Willems’ - at the end of the line of numbers. “Helena Willems 1817” $22, 276 x 342 “MTVG 1834-1856” $15, 225 x 190, that Gigi has called the ’20-year “Mary Hunter 1844” $15, 139 x 150 ~ love the reds! sampler’ because it has two dates on it, perhaps the start date and the finish!

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.

GATHERING For any of you in the area, Hannah’s piece is part of an SEE PAGE 4 exhibition, “Women Only: Folk Art by Female Hands,” now on view and extended through September 19, 2010 at the museum. Here’s what the museum says about this piece: “Hannah Carter's elegant lady in a pastoral setting belongs to pre-Revolutionary Boston's most famous group of needleworks known collectively as ‘fishing lady’ pictures. It features some of the classic motifs of seventeenth-century English needlework, such as birds, insects, berries, oversize flowers, and verdant hillocks, combined with figures based on English and French prints of the period. It is one of a group of related pastoral embroideries worked by young girls from some of the wealthiest colonial families while attending Boston boarding schools. Today, 17 within a group of 58 related pieces actually depict the fishing lady, but only six makers have been identified, and the schools they attended have defied discovery. The patterns, based on English prototypes, may have been drawn and distributed by a Boston schoolmistress such as Mrs.

    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.

The Facebook discussion included several perspectives on what 10-year-old Margret Begbie was depicting with her beautifully executed needlework. A 10-year- old? Really? Such an accomplishment for such a tender age. On the following page is information included with the chart about this most interesting sampler. It’s such a compelling question, as to whether Margret was recording the ships landing in Australia or leaving the shores of Scotland bound for Botany Bay? After reading all that is written here about Margret’s sampler, what do you think? Another compelling question for me: Whose initials “PL” did Margret stitch beneath the beautiful crown? Sandra suggests that it is likely those of her teacher, Mrs. Lawder. * Botany Bay Sampler Chart $20, 286 x 323 I am grateful to Australian sampler devotee Sandra Moffitt, known to many * Charted for overdyed cottons (many on back order )~ so of us from her Hands Across the Sea, for her help with photos and facts.

  • Linda's Gateway Chapter Stitched Collage
    Friendship Stitch Linda’s Gateway Chapter Stitched Collage Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Ralph Waldo Emerson In the spirit of our Program Chair’s idea for a Friendship Stitch, I’ve come up with the idea of asking the Gateway Chapter membership to help me with a “Stitch Collage”, a collage not of newspaper and string, but of small stitched elements provided by Gateway Chapter members. I’ll add my own elements, such as the Gateway Chapter stitched logo, and arrange and stitch together to form a unified piece. While thinking about participating in my project (and I hope you do), feel free to borrow, adapt, or use this idea as a springboard to come up with your own ideas for a Friendship Stitch. I’m developing a “brainstorming list” of ideas for the Friendship Stitch to present at the November meeting, so please email or phone ideas to me to add to the list, or ask me to send you the list by email or mail if you want to see what I’ve come up with before November. Each member who chooses to participate in my “Stitch Collage” produces a small (no larger than 3 by 3 inches) stitched sample. The ground may be any counted ground: canvas of any count, congress cloth, aida, linen, rug canvas, perforated paper, plastic canvas, window screen, and so on. Please include an unstitched margin of about 1 _ to 2 (or more) inches. (I can be flexible on size and margin requirements if you have something you’ll really like to donate.) You may add your initials or name, but this is optional.
