  • Stitch Spotlight: Alicia's Lace Variations by Diane Snyder
    Stitch Spotlight: Alicia's Lace Variations by Diane Snyder One of my hands-down favorite stitches to use is Alicia's Lace Variations. As its name suggests, it works well for a lacy effect on clothing such as collars and dresses or textiles such as curtains and linens. The basic structure of diamond shapes is very easy to compensate because the diagonal stitches are over only two threads so the compensating stitch will be a single tent stitch in the correct orientation to match the pattern. I find it a very versatile stitch because of all the variations that can be used within the basic diamond shapes. You can leave the open areas as they are; this produces a very light and airy stitch perfect for backgrounds. The weight of the thread or the number of strands determines how much open canvas reads visually in the overall texture. Adding a single upright stitch over two threads in the center of the diamond adds more texture and makes the overall pattern denser; again, the choice of thread weight or strands will determine how dense or open the overall pattern appears. You may choose to fill every diamond shape, every other diamond shape or row in a pattern, or add the uprights randomly throughout. My favorite way to use this stitch is for skies. On an 18-mesh canvas, I like using two strands of a subtly overdyed silk that matches the canvas color. In areas where I want the sky to seem lighter I'll work the diamond shapes with the space between left open; in areas where I want the sky darker I'll add the uprights in the center.

  • Basic Blackwork Class – HL Anja Snihová Camarni
    Basic Blackwork Class – HL Anja Snihová Camarni I’m including in this handout a couple of different ways of explaining “how-to” in blackwork, because not every explanation works for every person. Also, please excuse the crass commercial plugs. I didn’t have time to completely re-write, so pretend that this somebody else’s. Which it is! Anja and MaryAnne are not the same person. <grin> MaryAnne Bartlett is a 21st century woman, making a living by writing and researching, designing and selling blackwork designs and products. Anja Snihova’ was born in the late 14th century and due to the potions that her alchemist husband makes, survived into the early 17th century! Beginning Blackwork Blackwork is a counted thread technique made popular in England in the 1500's by Catharine of Aragon, the Spanish first wife of King Henry VIII of England. It was immortalized in the incredibly detailed portraits done by the court painter, Hans Holbein, whose name is give to the stitch used, which is just a running stitch that doubles back on itself at the other end of its "journey". Blackwork can be anything from a simple line drawing to the complex pattern of #10 below, and on to designs so complex no one seems to know how to do them! It was usually done with silk thread on a white even-weave linen, and despite the name of the technique, was done in every colour of the rainbow, although black was the most popular colour, followed by red and blue. The most peculiar thing about this technique is that, done properly, the design repeats on both the right and wrong sides of the fabric, making it perfect for collars, cuffs, veils and ribbons where both sides need to look nice!

  • Gingham Chicken Scratch Cat Patterns Free Download Design Your CHICKEN SCRATCH EMBROIDERY Patterns with These 4 Stitches
    gingham chicken scratch cat patterns free download Design your CHICKEN SCRATCH EMBROIDERY Patterns with these 4 stitches. Chicken scratch embroidery – the name itself is so curious. Nothing to do with real chicken scratches of course. Unless you count the way you do embroidery or someone else judging it so. Mine does, especially when I tangle my threads midway. This chicken scratch, though, is beautiful and evenly done. The uniformity of stitches is part of the charm of this work. Chicken Scratch embroidery is a type of embroidery done on gingham fabric (Chequered fabric). The even squares of the gingham fabric form a pattern of its own for the work. The chicken scratch embroidery can make your finished gingham fabric look like you have added lace on top of it. There are many types of gingham fabric according to the size of the squares – some with small squares, some big, some with slightly oblong shaped squares. You will have to ensure that the gingham fabric you have has perfect squares for this embroidery to work. 4 stitches used in chicken scratch embroidery. 1. Double cross stitch ( Smyrna cross stitch) This is a cross stitch done twice over. 2 Straight running stitch. These stitches are done over the colored squares, leaving the white squares blank. 3 Woven circle stitch. This stitch is done by weaving thread under the running stitches to create the circle, usually on the white squares. 4 Loop stitch. This is another woven stitch with a straight stitch connecting two stitches. What kind of thread is used for chicken scratch embroidery? Usually, ordinary embroidery floss in white is used to do this embroidery.

  • Passing on Needlework Skills to Young People
    CT-MMB.700 PASSING ON NEEDLEWORK SKILLS TO YOUNG PEOPLE Why should we pass needlework skills on to young people? Don't they have enough to do with school, sports, music lessons, TV, and video games? And besides, it's so easy to buy needle crafted items at the store—the ones imported from overseas. Before you answer these questions, think about why you enjoy doing needlework yourself. We live in an age of technology and because of this, many parents have failed to see the importance of teaching handwork to their children. Family sociology has changed, families are spread out across the country, and the tradition of passing heritage skills from one generation to the next has almost been lost. Thankfully, the needle arts are experiencing a renewal, and many adults are learning the skills that were abandoned when they were growing up. Needlework includes knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, tatting/lacework, and rug making.
