    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.

    [email protected] http://ttusher.orgfree.com Textile manufacturing terminology The manufacture of textiles is one of the oldest of human technologies. In order to make textiles, the first requirement is a source of fibre from which a yarn can be made, primarily by spinning. (Both fibre and fiber are used in this article.) The yarn is processed by knitting or weaving, which turns yarn into cloth. The machine used for weaving is the loom. For decoration, the process of colouring yarn or the finished material is dyeing. For more information of the various steps, see textile manufacturing. A__________________________________________________________________ Absorbency A measure of how much water a fabric can absorb. Acetate Acetate is a synthetic fiber. Acrylic Acrylic fiber is a synthetic polymer fiber that contains at least 85% acrylonitrile. Aida cloth Aida cloth is a coarse open-weave fabric traditionally used for cross-stitch. Alnage Alnage is the official supervision of the shape and quality of manufactured woolen cloth. Alpaca Alpaca is a name given to two distinct things. It is primarily a term applied to the wool of the Peruvian alpaca. It is, however, more broadly applied to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca fiber but now frequently made from a similar type of fiber. Angora Angora refers to the hair of either the Angora goat or the Angora rabbit, or the fabric made from Angora rabbit; see Angora wool. (Fabric made from angora goat is mohair.) Angora wool Angora wool is a generic term for either Mohair if the hair is from an Angora goat or Angora fabric if the hair is from an Angora rabbit.

  • 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!

  • From the Sun Region of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc
    from The Sun Region of The Embroiderers’ Guild of America, Inc. website: www.sunregionega.org RD’s Letter Hello to everyone in Sun Region. I imagine that most of you are looking forward to some cooler weather just like I am. Lets hope it comes soon and we don’t have any more hurricanes or big storms. The fall board meeting is the 17th and 18th of September in Safety Harbor. At that meeting we will talk about next year’s review of the bylaws for Sun Region. 2017 is our scheduled year for this review and this involves every chapter’s bylaws and the region’s. The chapter reps will come back from the meeting with information on how this process will work. That should make it easier for everyone to get their bylaws reviewed and accepted by the end of 2017. The nominating committee is struggling to find candidates for positions. I strongly urge you to think about what will happen if the region can not find officers to serve. We’d all like to sit back and just enjoy the benefits of being part of Sun Region but that just doesn’t work. And I have to say that the best part of being on the board and committees for me has been meeting region members and getting to know them. I’ve gotten to know many peo- ple that I never would have known and have had experiences that would never have happened. And yes, those are good things. Please help the nominating committee by reaching out to those in your chapters that may never have considered serving at the region level but that you think would do a great job.

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.
