It was first used by Italian artisans as a background filling stitch in Assisi embroidery during the sixteenth century. The use of this stitch spread to other regions of Europe, such as Germany and Czechoslovakia, during the seventeenth century and ultimately to the United States of America where it was used occasionally. The stitch is a reversible, pulled stitch that can be recognized in needlework by the holes (or perforations) that appear at each of the four corners of the stitch. A horizontal and a vertical stitch, place in the shape of an L around a cross stitch, are additional features of the stitch that aid in its recognition. The tight tension that is used causes the stitch to become raised, futher assisting in the identification of the stitch. Remember we are here to help you. All you have to do is ask. KNOWLEDGE! Knowledge means ease of stitching. There is always something to learn in the needlework world. It is a joy to stitch with people who share your interest. They have something in common with YOU.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
