  • 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.

  • Dzieje Haftu Na Jedwabnym Szlaku
    AlEKSANDrA Kajdańska DZIEJE HAfTU NA JedwabNym SZlAKU Hafciarstwem nazywana jest sztuka wykonywania dowolnego ornamentu na da- nym tle, które stanowią zazwyczaj tkaniny (jedwab i inne). Sztuka ta należy do naj- starszych form zdobienia wszelkich przedmiotów, przede wszystkim ubiorów. Na przestrzeni dziejów sztuka hafciarska wytworzyła własne style i bardzo różnorodne techniki – od tych najprostszych do najbardziej wyrafinowanych1. Nadworny hafciarz króla francji ludwika XV Charles Germain de Saint Au- bin w swojej Sztuce haftu określił haft jako „sztukę doskonałego wyboru projektu [haftu – A.K.] w stylu płaskim, haftowanego złotem lub srebrem lub kolorowymi nićmi, w celu wykończenia ubioru jako całości”2. Autor tego dzieła uważał haft za luksus i dzieło sztuki samo w sobie, dające możliwość ukazania pozycji spo- łecznej noszącego dany ubiór. był to czas, gdy dzięki rozwojowi żeglugi chińskie hafciarki były już znane w Europie ze swojej cierpliwości i staranności, ale także z precyzji pracy oraz z kolorowego, świetlnego efektu jedwabiu, na którym hafto- wały swoje dzieła. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest udzielenie odpowiedzi na kilka pytań. Gdzie i kiedy narodził się haft? Jakimi drogami i w jakim czasie dotarł on do Europy, upo- wszechniając się zarówno na dworach królewskich, jak i wśród przedstawicieli klas niższych? Jaką rolę odegrał w procesie rozprzestrzenienia się haftu Jedwabny Szlak? Najstarsze wzmianki o roli haftu w ubiorze znajdują się w chińskich tekstach klasycznych z okresu dynastii Zachodniej Zhou (1027–770 r. p.n.e.) – Shangshu i Zho- uli. Autor tego drugiego wymienia między innymi techniki hafciarskie potrzebne do dekorowania ubrań. W księdze Kaogongji („Zapiski o rzemiośle”), pochodzącej z okresu Walczących Państw (480–222 r. p.n.e.), jest wzmianka o haftowanych ob- razach jedwabnych.

  • The Humble Couching Stitch Research Paper Submitted by Natalie Dupuis April, 2020
    The Humble Couching Stitch Research Paper Submitted by Natalie Dupuis www.SewByHand.com April, 2020 Subject: The humbly magnificent couching stitch from medieval times to present day, classified into distinct categories. INTRODUCTION Goldwork - one of the most beautiful techniques in hand embroidery - employs the humblest of stitches, the couching stitch. A stitch that theoretically is easily executed, but requires a steady hand and keen eye to be enjoyed at its highest precision. This paper provides a concise examination of the couching stitch as used in Europe from medieval times to present day. The various forms of couching stitches are reviewed with photographic support of both historic and modern examples. By the end of this paper it is the author’s wish that the reader will better understand the sub-categories of underside couching, pattern couching, diaper patterns, or nué, Italian shading, damascening, vermicelli, and contemporary variations. The couching stitch has been used for centuries to hold metal threads onto the surface of fabric. It’s most basic use can be traced back to extant samples from the 1st century BC in the Scythian community (Clabburn, 1976). Tortora & Phyllis (2007) define it as “a method of embroidering in which a design is made by various threads or cords laid upon the surface of a material and secured by fine stitches drawn through the material and across the cord.” Generally speaking, a single or double length of metal thread is laid upon the surface of the fabric, and is then held in place with a series of stitches which can be near invisible or highly visible, and regularly or irregularly spaced.
