Stitchers Are Nice!

Since 2001 my sister-in-law Annie and I have been attending The Silver Needle's Camp Wannasew. When we started going, we went in the Autumn. The last seven or so years we've been going in the Spring. We've made some lasting friendships through the years and it seems that every year there is someone new to welcome to Camp.

This year (as we do every year) after flying in to Tulsa and getting our rental car we made a stop at the shop to take a look around and get our bearings. There is so much to see in the shop - so many new models - it takes more than one visit. We always go back on Friday for a second look.

While at the shop on Thursday, a fellow camper arrived by taxi from the airport. She had been assured by Lindy that she would be able to catch a ride with someone at the shop. Thus began our new friendship with "EdieToo".

Let me explain how I envision her name: Well, her name is Edie L., but we already had Edie S. at our table in the workroom at Camp and Edie L. was joining us. So, we dubbed the new Edie "Edie2" but I see it in my mind as "EdieToo".

EdieToo went back to the shop with us on Friday. We all had a very enjoyable weekend getting to know each other. She skis, rides a Harley, and shows her grandchildren that life is to be lived. EdieToo is also a member of EGA and an excellent stitcher. We exchanged contact information before parting on Sunday and became Facebook friends soon after returning home. Last week I received a warm "thank you" note from EdieToo and she enclosed this lovely eyeglass cloth.

Thank you, EdieToo!

That Finished Feeling

Here are some of the items I worked on over Memorial weekend. I have to be in the mood to do finishing work and was happy to get these two items done. The first is a thimble purse to be worn as a necklace. The design is by With Thy Needle and Thread . The pattern came with the purse frame. I used a scrap of 40 count linen and overdyed threads I had on hand. It is stitched with one strand of floss over two threads of linen. It is lined with a coordinating cotton print fabric. The pattern suggests using waxed hemp cord for the necklace, but I thought a chain would be more comfortable. As you can see, the purse from the closure to the bottom measures about three inches. I like the tree and the scattered alphabet. And, yes, I put a thimble inside. The other finished project is a small sewing set by Little House Needleworks from the pattern called Fresh from the Garden. The quilted sewing case and pincushion are pres...

Chasing Master Craftsman Status

As you know, I am a member of the Embroiderer's Guild of America . One of the opportunities afforded to members is the pursuit of Master Craftsman certification in a number of techniques - beading, canvas, color, counted thread, crewel, design, quilting, silk/metal threads, smocking and surface. A couple of years ago I began working on the Master Craftsman in Counted Thread Embroidery. There are several steps - the first being the creation of a family history sampler in counted cross stitch. Here is my successful piece: The assignment for step two is to create an Assisi embroidery piece. Assisi embroidery has a void design so that the subject of the piece is done in double running stitch and then the background is filled in solidly, in this instance with cross stitches. Also, there is typically a decorative border done in double running stitches. I have had more than one idea and nothing has worked out so far. However, I think my la...

Exhibiting to Inspire Others

Coming up in September (19-27) we have the Panhandle South Plains Fair in Lubbock, Texas. I have had one piece framed and have done finishing work on a few others so far. I plan to exhibit these pieces in the cross stitch category. It would be nice to win a ribbon, of course. Another way to look at it is: Who will I inspire by showing my work? Who will want to learn this or that technique of stitching or finishing? Who will want to create their own designs? Who will teach and inspire someone else? First up is my Assisi-style embroidery. I created this embroidery as part of my journey in EGA 's master craftsman in counted thread embroidery program. I adapted some patterns from the book Here Be Drolleries by Nancy Spies of Arelate Studio and added some designs of my own to create my design of a "peaceable kingdom". You can find Arelate Studio designs now at 1884 Stitchery . I have finished a couple of small cushions m...
