  • David Owen Hastings
    DECEMBER 2020 Volume 12 Number 8 Zoom Video Conference - December 8, 2020 9:30am - 12:00pm Check your email for link to the meeting. Program - David Owen Hastings Exploring Nature with Paper and Stitch David Owen Hastings grew up in a household of creatives. At an early age, using his grandmother’s 1950’s Singer, he made clothes for his platoon of GI Joes. As an artist, he uses this same machine to stitch together the paper- based collages which he has created and shown in galleries for over 20 years. David noted in an interview in Creating Whimsey that he almost always stitches on paper during the collage process as it provides a structural function (no waiting for glue to dry) as well as a linear element. His work is abstract, inspired by the patterns, shapes, colors, and textures in nature. Plants and leaves, microorganisms, and weathered surfaces are influences as well as Japanese art and culture. His lecture, Exploring Nature with Paper and Stitch, will discuss his inspirations and creative process. He will show examples and include details for those who wish to try his techniques. With a life-long love of textiles, sewing, and knitting, it was almost inevitable that David would turn to quilting. He will talk about how his experience as a gallery artist led to the world of modern quilting. David Owen Hastings is a quilter, graphic designer, print and textile artist, and the 2020 President of the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. Sharing knowledge, encouraging creativity, and teaching new skills are his personal passions.

  • Bayeux Style Initials
    ©Ava, 2014 Bayeux style initials Drachenwald Crown Tourney 2014 workshop by Ava van Allecmere [email protected] Introduction: The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth—not an actual tapestry—nearly 70 metres (230 ft) long, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England concerning William, Duke of Normandy, and Harold, Earl of Wessex, later King of England, and culminating in the Battle of Hastings. The word tapestry comes from French tapisser, which means ‘to cover the wall’, thus wall covering. The tapestry consists of some fifty scenes with Latin tituli (captions), embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's half- brother, and made in England—not Bayeux—in the 1070s. In 1729 the hanging was rediscovered by scholars at a time when it was being displayed annually in Bayeux Cathedral. The tapestry is now exhibited at Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Bayeux, Normandy, France. In a series of pictures supported by a written commentary the tapestry tells the story of the events of 1064–1066 culminating in the Battle of Hastings. The two main protagonists are Harold Godwinson, recently crowned King of England, leading the Anglo-Saxon English, and William, Duke of Normandy, leading a mainly Norman army, sometimes called the companions of William the Conqueror. Construction, design and technique: The Bayeux tapestry is embroidered in wool yarn on a tabby-woven linen ground 68.38 metres long and 0.5 metres wide (224.3 ft × 1.6 ft) and using two methods of stitching: outline or stem stitch for lettering and the outlines of figures, and couching or laid work for filling in figures.
