  • Blackwork Embroidery Pattern Generation Using a Parametric Shape Grammar
    Blackwork Embroidery Pattern Generation Using a Parametric Shape Grammar April Grow, Michael Mateas, and Noah Wardrip-Fruin Computational Media Department University of California Santa Cruz Santa Cruz, CA 95060 USA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Design tools with computational algorithms have been aiding artists for many years in 2D and 3D, from of- fering a digital drafting table or canvas to applying im- age filters or other mathematical transformations. How- ever, there are many more non-digital creative tasks that can benefit from computer-aided design. This paper presents an interactive parametric shape grammar for blackwork embroidery pattern generation, whose pat- terns are then implemented (sewn) using an unmodified home embroidery machine. A design tool executes the grammar-guided user input, enumerates expanded pat- tern possibilities, and compiles patterns into an imme- Figure 1: Generated samples by our parametric shape gram- diately sewable file format.

Related Work Introduction ”Embroidery” is a broad term that roughly encompasses any embellishment by thread, or materials held or strung via thread, on nearly any material, most commonly on textiles. In the multi-millennial lifespan of embroidery, while many fundamental stitches remain the same, dozens of styles and approaches have been classified (Leslie 2007). This paper chooses to focus on non-freeform blackwork embroidery, one of the most restrained styles, as a first approach to em- broidery pattern generation.

  • FURHTURE, TAPESTRY and EMBROIDERY of YESTERDAY AID TODAY MARLBOROUGH HOUSE Wednesday April 25™
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK Patron : H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER LOAN EXHIBITION FURHTURE, TAPESTRY AND EMBROIDERY OF YESTERDAY AID TODAY MARLBOROUGH HOUSE Wednesday April 25™ TO Wednesday May 30™ PRICE 6 ° Ma r II)o ± ough ho use by Sir Owen Morshead. Whitehall Palace having been destroyed by fire in 1698, it was in St. James' Palace that Queen Anne set up her residence in 1702; and the Court of St. James' is still the term in official use to-day. Within a year she had created her Lord Privy Seal (John Sheffield) Duke of Buckingham, and he proceeded to erect for himself the big house looking down the length of the Mall which, rebuilt since, is known to us as Buckingham Palace. Shortly afterwards she allowed her Mistress of the Robes and close confidante, Sarah Duchess of Marlborough, to build the house in which the present exhibition is being held. From his campaign in the Low Countries the Duke had written to his wife: "You,know I never lik'd to build it at all. 'Tis not a proper Place for a great House. And I am sure," he added knowingly, "when you have built a little one you will not like it." The one which Sir Christopher Wren designed for her in 1709 is the present house minus the two top floors and certain additional rooms in the side wings. Built on so confined a site it has had to expand upwards, to the detriment of its appearance. The mettlesome Duchess was vexed by the inadequacy of its entrance from the street, and she resented too its domination by the houses in Pall Mall.

PARKS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR #1: BAND NEEDLEWORK SAMPLER- Sarah RELPH, in her 10th year, [England, or possibly Rhode Island], October 30, 1745 Linen ground with silk thread Known as a band sampler, this was a primary learning tool for a young woman of the 17th through the 19th centuries. Through a basic marking sampler, the young lady would learn to sew and use darning stitches, necessary for her future roles as wife, mother, and housekeeper. As samplers continued to be made, religious verses and maxims were added to guide her toward a purposeful life. Decorative bands of geometrical motifs were copied across the width of the sampler and served as a reference when the young woman wished to embellish an article of clothing or household linen.

  • 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.
