Guadalupe Rd, Suite 109 Mesa, AZ 85202 TELEPHONE (480)898-1838 THE ATTIC 2018 August 1 Issue No. 18-13 www.atticneedlework.com Our August Sampler of the Month Beth was doing some rearranging and merchandising a few weeks ago and came across this beautiful From Chessie & Me sampler reproduction from Linda/Chessie & Me, and exclaimed that we should have this as Sampler of the Month. Well, I knew that it had been a special Esther Eddison 1832 Stitch-Along at Country Sampler several years ago, and that it has been in the marketplace for a while. Many of us fell in love with it when Linda visited us in April of 2017 and joined us at our Sampler Sunday, along with her in-progress ESTHER EDDISON. But somehow I missed some of the very unique feature of this sampler. Here’s what Linda tells us about this sampler: Vivid and unusual, this early 19th Century crewel and cross-stitched sampler is stitched in wool on linen. Within the acorn and block borders Esther has sewn a large two-bay, three- chimney, ivy-covered home with a dated outbuilding topped by a watchful raven. A girl stands next to the house ~ possibly Esther herself ~ and watches as a figure passes led by a dog on a leash. Beneath is possibly the most unique feature … a caption, “Poor blind man.” This is the only example of an editorial comment I’ve ever seen in a sampler. The lower two-thirds of Esther’s sampler is populated with bird-filled trees, potted plants, and shrubs. In the center are Adam and Eve flanking the Tree of Life, complete with the serpent. Adam has not yet taken Eve’s Apple, Purchase 2 of the 3 items below and receive a 15% Sampler of the but we know how that ends. More puzzling is the extremely rare feature of the Month discount: Tree of Life with stumpwork apples and a serpent stitched in a high-relief * Chart $24 chain stitch, both characteristic of stumpwork done in the 17th and 18th * Linen ~ We have stocked a variety of hand-dyed & Zweigart Centuries, here present in Esther Iddison’s 1832 needlework. Were it not for a standard linens from which to choose sampler signed by her sister Sarah, giving her home as “Dishforth” in Yorkshire, * Charted for Gentle Art Sampler Threads/Wool, we’ve done England, this sampler could easily be thought to be American. Esther was born conversions to hand-dyed silks ($101.25) & Tudor silks ($78.75) in Dishforth in 1816 to Thomas and Esther Iddison, one of three children.

This will be the only opportunity you have to learn from Nicola how she stitched this sampler to achieve a truly reversible finish. Bathya is a very special sampler with an amazing history - please see this video where Witney Antiques talks about the sampler shortly into the film. Bathya is also featured in many reference books. Bathya stitched her sampler with 15 vibrant shades of silks, ingeniously devising stitch patterns and motifs. There is so much to delight in her sampler. She used a wide repertoire of stitches of varying intricacy. The stitches include two different versions of reversible cross stitch ~ one forms a cross on the reverse with a vertical stitch on the left and the other a four-sided stitch on the reverse. She also used double back stitch and diagonal double back stitch. These stitches appear plaited from the front and as two parallel rows of back stitch on the reverse ~ you might know them as closed herringbone. Other stitches used were double-sided Italian stitch; alternating double back stitch in groups of three, which represents the Trinity; detached buttonhole; french knots and satin stitch. Bathya’s whitework bands are particularly elegant. Narrow whitework bands were an important part of a stitcher’s repertoire, they were used on collar bands both as an adornment and as stiffening so that the collars would stand proud. It is important to us that we have smaller groups so that everyone has unrushed time to spend with Nicola, so class sizes will be limited. You will learn the techniques needed to re- create this stunning sampler.

    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.

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.

  • 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!
