Georgian Flower II: Goldwork and Finishing Session 8: Georgian Flower II: Goldwork and Finishing In this session we are going to look at some goldwork stitches and techniques, as well as finishing off the embroidery itself. I will be showing you how to work with ‘Passing Thread’, which is an historical type of metallic thread which can be used for different stitches to give variety to your goldwork stitching. Passing thread was the main goldwork thread available during the 18th century when designs like this one were popular. It differs from Jap in that it is more tightly wrapped around its core, so it can be used to sew THROUGH the fabric in a way which is very difficult with Jap thread. You can also use it for all the stitching you can do with Jap, so I tend to use it most of the time! MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THIS SESSION: • Embroidery hoop or small frame • Embroidery scissors • Completed work from Session 7: Georgian Flower I: Silk Shading and stems • Needles: o Crewel needle, size 9-10 o Crewel needle size 6-7 (big enough to take the Passing thread) o Tapestry needle size 22 • DMC Embroidery cottons 552, 726, 904, 906 • Gold Passing or Tambour thread, either size 4 or size 6, about 1.5 m (1.75 yds) • Yellow sewing cotton. READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH BEFORE YOU START YOUR EMBROIDERY. SETTING UP YOUR FABRIC: Place your embroidery in the hoop and make sure it is taut. If you prefer, use a small roller frame or similar. Now you are ready to start stitching! WORKING THE EMBROIDERY: Finishing the cotton embroidery: All the stranded cotton embroidery is done with TWO strands of cotton in your needle. The stranded cotton embroidery is not shown in the masterclass, but it is the same as you did for the crewelwork project, just slightly smaller stitches. 1. Start with the bud. Using the light green stranded cotton, stitch the base of the bud in plain satin stitch. Start in the centre and work to either side like you did with the bud on the crewelwork project. 2. Now take 2 strands of the medium purple thread and work the flower bud, again in plain satin stitch. 3. Small leaves: work these in Slanted Satin Stitch in the dark green stranded cotton. Start at the base of the leaf, near the stem, and keep your stitches parallel. 4. Flower Centre: Fill the centre of the main flower with French Knots, stitched with 2 strands of yellow cotton. All the cotton embroidery should now be finished! Now we are going to do some goldwork stitching. Courtesy of Alison Larkin for Immediate Live WORKING THE GOLDWORK: Some of the goldwork is couching, which you did in project 1 (Cornucopia) with the silver threads. However, we are going to try some older style stitching as well. 1. We will start with the knot of the posy, which is stitched in Interlaced Knot Stitch. It might help to try this stitch out (slightly larger) in the corner of your fabric first, using some of the spare Coton Perle thread from the Hardanger project. 2. Select a length of passing thread about 30cm (12 ins) long, and your larger crewel needle. Thread up the passing thread. Tie a figure-of-8 knot in the end. 3. FOUNDATION STITCHES: Bring the passing thread through on the edge of the circle. Start by making sets of three lines as shown in the diagram (blue lines). Work each set-in turn, stitching over the previous set, and leaving spaces round the edge of the circle between each set of 3 threads. When you get to the last set of three, take your needle behind the first set before you take it to the back of the fabric each time. 4. You should end up with a tiny ‘nought-and-crosses board’ shape, with the lines of three threads interlaced as shown in the diagram below. 5. Now take a fresh length of the passing thread, about 24-30 cm (10-12 in) long, and again make a figure-8 knot in the end. Bring your thread up underneath one set of three stitches, near the crossing of the 2 sets. Make sure you come up where the set goes UNDER the crossing set (see the masterclass again if you are not sure). At this stage you might find it easier to change to a tapestry needle. 6. Take the passing thread round the outside of the knot, working over and under each set of 3 stitches in turn. Don’t go through the fabric, just under the stitches. If you look at the diagram and the masterclass, you will see that the whole knot is interlaced over and under in turn. 7. Work around the knot 3 times, keeping the passing threads running parallel. The knot will gradually pull into the middle as you stitch. You can see the completed Interlaced knot stitch in the close-up image below. Courtesy of Alison Larkin for Immediate Live Completed Interlace Knot Stitch Ribbon Chains: These are stitched in Reverse Chain Stitch. This is very similar to normal chain stitch, but you are working in reverse: it is better if you are stitching with metallic threads, as the threads don’t go through the fabric so much. This means the metallic cover of the thread is less likely to break and strip off. 1. Take a 30cm (12 in) length of the passing thread in your needle and tie a figure of 8 knot in the end. Bring the needle through close to the Interlaced Knot stitch, on the upper end of one chain end. Make a short (about 2mm or 1.8 in) straight stitch along the line (shown as a red star in the diagram above). 2. Bring the needle back up about 5mm (scant ¼ in) along the marked line, then pass the needle under the straight stitch and back down next to where it came up. Now bring the needle up again another 4-5 mm along the line and pass the needle under both strands of the previous stitch, then back down again to form a new chain loop. 3. Continue like this, following the line, until you are at the end of the line. For the last stitch, leave some space between the two ends of the stitch to make a forked end for the ribbon. Stitch the two chain loops and the other end of the ‘ribbon’ in the same way. For the loops, make the last stitch with the ends close together rather than separated. 4. Large Leaves: use yellow sewing thread to couch a double strand of the passing thread between the stem stitch lines on the large leaves. Take the ends of the passing thread through to the back using your large-eyed needle and stitch them down to the back of the embroidery using the sewing cotton. Well done! You have finished project 4 of the masterclass, and you should now be getting used to stitching free embroidery with stranded cottons. I hope you have enjoyed this project.

  • 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.

  • Authenticity in the Revival of Orthodox Ecclesiastical Embroidery in Post-Soviet Russia Luba Dovgan Nurse, Dinah Eastop and Mary M
    Authenticity in the revival of Orthodox ecclesiastical embroidery in post-Soviet Russia Luba Dovgan Nurse, Dinah Eastop and Mary M. Brooks ABSTRACT The Russian Orthodox Church, together with the skills and practice of ecclesiastical hand embroidery, was undermined during the Soviet period of 1917–1991. The late 20th- century revival of ecclesiastical embroidery was possible because of the work of conservators and historians in museums in Russia who ensured the preservation of both the artefacts and the understanding of their ecclesiastical use. This paper focuses on the idea of the authenticity of these new embroideries, which is sought by the embroiderers as a key attribute to assert in relation to other types of ecclesiastical textile production. The case study provides a vivid example of the importance of authenticity and how it is invoked. Introduction argues, first, that this emphasis on authentic- ity manifests the Russian Orthodox Church’s This paper explores the nature of the ‘real central, but contested, position in Russian soci- thing’ by examining the authenticity attrib- ety and, secondly, that women have played an uted to embroidery made for use in the important role in constructing the perceived Russian Orthodox Church in the post-Soviet authenticity of this revived Orthodox art form. era.1 This ecclesiastical embroidery (tserko- Interviews with embroiderers and conservators vnaia vyshivka) has two names according to conducted by Luba Dovgan Nurse in Russia the techniques and materials used: metal thread in 2006 provide the primary source for this (zolotnaia) and pictorial (litsevaia). The latter research.2 term derives from the word lik meaning face, image or representation, and is closely related to the art of religious illustration as in the illus- trated biblical chronicles (litsevye rukopisi) and Revival of the Russian Orthodox Church to icons.
