Her lovely range of designs have wonderful details and are inspired by her faith. Below we interview her and she has created a piece called A New Creation. Where are you from? I am from Texas, and currently living in Boise, Idaho. My family has moved a lot over the years, but Texas seemed to be the best 'fit'. It's where I met my husband and we had our daughter. We have many close friends and family members still there, and a big piece of my heart is still with them. What's is like? Boise is a beautiful town. It is a thriving city with easy access to the mountains, lakes and trails. There are many activities to do all year round. The weather ranges from winter snowstorms to summer heat waves; a little something for everyone! My favorite time of year is fall; when the leaves are changing color and the temperatures are mild. When did you learn to embroider for the first time? In elementary school I took an elective, taught by the principal. Decades later I picked it up again while I was The Wedding teaching Kindergarten - I needed something to work on during the quiet times and breaks. I spent some time working When did you start your business? at the local needlework shop, Creative Stitchery, and I was In August of 2005. introduced to all sorts of new fibers, fabrics, designs and just couldn't get enough!

    from The Sun Region of The Embroiderers’ Guild of America, Inc. website: www.sunregionega.org RD’s Letter Hello Sun Region, I hope that all of you are enjoying the cooler weather. I’m enjoying being outside more and working in the gar- den. Plus, it helps me get into the spirit of the season. Speaking of the season, yesterday was my chapter’s Christmas party. It was well attended but best of all, Audrey Francini was there. Most of you know, or know of, Audrey and her wonderful stitching. She’s an EGA icon. I talked to Audrey for a little bit and she said that she’s still stitching although she believes that it’s not as good as it used to be. We both agreed that without our stitch- ing we don’t know what we would do with ourselves. The big news for Audrey is that she has a big birthday com- ing up on December 22 . She will be 100! Please join me in wishing Audrey a very happy birthday and a wish for many more. The Florida State Fair is coming in February. Have you ever been? More importantly, have you ever entered something in the fair? If not, you should think about it. They have a fiber arts section that includes just about everything. I’ve been in touch with Brenda Gregory the coordinator of the family exhibits division. She’s trying to encourage more entries and would like some quality entries from EGA. The handbook is out and is very detailed in how to enter, etc.

Silk Embroidered Postcards from the First World War (2015) Acknowledgements The TRC would like to thank Dr. Ian Collins for his help in collecting various postcards and his help in writing the text (https://sites.google.com/site/embroideredsilkpostcards/home ) 2 TRC Collection Silk Embroidered Postcards Silk Embroidered Postcards from the First World War Decorative postcards with a short text were popular in Europe from the early 1900's until the 1950's. Many of these were made in France. The cards included a wide variety of designs and messages, worked in floss silk in various colours. Some ten million embroidered cards were allegedly produced. Embroidered silk postcards were especially favoured during and just after the First World War (1914-1918). During the war, the range of designs was very varied and included obviously military subjects, such as the flags of the allies (notably Belgium, Britain, Croatia, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia, and the USA), names of regiments, figures of famous generals, and more public subjects such as Christmas, birthdays and New Year best wishes. In addition, many cards carried illustrations of butterflies and flowers, as gentler, more sympathetic images. Comparable cards were made in Germany, but with different designs and texts. The designs and texts were worked in small, silk gauze panels with colourful, free style embroidery.

  • 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!

  • Madeira Embroidery
    Blackwork Journey Inspirations Madeira Embroidery Madeira is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean west and slightly south of Portugal. The capital of Madeira is Funchai on the main island’s south coast and it was to Funchai, the capital that I travelled to explore the history of Madeira embroidery and find some modern examples of this traditional form of whitework embroidery. The hand embroidery of Madeira is generally recognised as being the finest of its kind available in the world. Over the last 150 years, Madeira has collected expertise from the fast disappearing regional centres of hand embroidery across Europe and moulded these various styles into a distinctive form of handwork recognised throughout the world. The Development of Madeira Embroidery The story began in the 1860’s when a wine shipper’s daughter, Elizabeth Phelps turned the rural pastime of simple embroidery into a cottage industry using her skills to motivate, organise and sell the work of the embroiders to Victorian England. In the 1860’s it was estimated that there were 70,000 women embroiderers (bordadeiras) in Madeira working on linen, silk, organdy and cotton to create table linen, clothing, bedding and handkerchiefs. Today there are about 30 companies producing handmade embroideries employing around 4,500 embroiderers. During the 19th century the main exports were to England and Germany. In the 20th century Madeiran Embroidery was exported to many parts of the world. Italy, the United States, South America and Australia became important markets. France, Singapore, Holland, Brazil and other countries also contributed to the trading expansion of and reputation of Madeira Embroidery.

  • Trailing Hearts by Terry
    Trailing Hearts Terri Bay Needlework Designs copyright 2020 All rights reserved www.terribayneedleworkdesigns.com Main Chart Each lines on all charts equals one fabric thread. All stitches are over two fabric threads. One strand of floss is used in the models. For a bolder pattern use two strands of floss of DMC Floche. 1 Trailing Hearts may be worked with the Double Running Stitch or Backstitch. If you are using a variegated thread backstitch should be used. Using a Double Running with variegated threads will cause odd and abrupt shifts in color. Each row of hearts may be made to be as long or as short as you wish. Simply add repeats to make them longer and subtract repeats to make the shorter. Use one long row for a bookmark. Make the center row shorter to create a heart shape. Work four rows in a square to create a border. There are many possibilities. The models were worked with one strand of cotton floss. For a bolder line use two strand of floss, or DMC Floche. Silks may also be used. Try working the rows in multiple colors. Perhaps gradients of colors from dark to light. Don’t hesitate to experiment with color! Blackwork is most noted in the reign of Catherine of Aragon, Henry the VIII of England’s first wife. She is said to have worked blackwork embroidery herself. Whether she did or not, she popularized it and “Spanishwork” was the in thing for embroiderers. Then she was no longer reigning and the term Spanishwork ceased to be popular.
