  • Talliaferro Classic Needleart Has Generously Contributed Two Motifs of Her Own Design for You to Interpret Into Stitch
    rancisco Scho n F ol o Sa f Stitch at Home Challenge Deadline: April 15, 2017 What is the “Stitch at Home Challenge”? We have created the “Stitch at Home Challenge” as a way to encourage and inspire people to stitch. This is not a competition but a challenge. For each challenge we will provide you with an inspiration and you may use any needlework technique or combination of techniques in order to make a piece of textile art. We will offer a new Challenge and Inspiration quarterly. Who can enter? Anyone! We know that many of you live far away. If you can’t come and visit us here in San Francisco, this is a great opportunity for you to join our stitching community. If you live close by, you may have the chance to come in and see your work on display at our school during one of our exhibits! What do I do with my finished piece? Your finished piece of art belongs to you but for each challenge there will be a deadline for you to submit either a photograph of your piece or the actual piece itself for display in an exhibit. The Challenge Exhibit will be up for a month at SNAD and it is a great opportunity to showcase your work. With your permission, we will also display your work in an online gallery on our website. THIS CHALLENGE’S INSPIRATION: For this challenge, Anna Garris Goiser of Talliaferro Classic Needleart has generously contributed two motifs of her own design for you to interpret into stitch.

  • 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.

  • 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.
