Subject: Kneeling carpets Update
sabrinadelabere
Send Email Send Email
 
Greetings All -

First thank-you for your patience on this project.

At the November meeting, the Regalia Commission approved the final
designs for the Kneeling Carpets by Mistress Anne of Bradford.
Unfortunately, there arose from the discussion a question about using
one of the elements from a heraldic point of view. It was researched
and determined that one element was held by an individual as a badge in
another Kingdom. Once this conflict is resolved, the final charts for
the carpets can be generated. Meanwhile, during the next few weeks the
people who originally volunteered for the project will be contacted to
determine their continuing interest in the project. In addition,
supplies will be ordered to do final determinations for color, yarn
type, quantity of yarn required, etc.

The design includes the following design elements - multiple interlace
borders, the devices for The West, Mists, Cynagua and Oertha, overall
trellis pattern background, and central motif oak leaf wreath and
crown.

Due to the intricacy of the design, this project will require a high
degree of uniformity of stitching and detail work.  The needleworkers
will asked to:
- read and follow a chart
- do the continental stitch throughout the piece to ensure front and
back coverage
- work with multiple plys of wool yarn
- work with multiple colors easily (possibly use multiple needles as
the same time)
- keep a relatively uniform tension on the stitches (x number of inches
of thread to y number of stitches) on 10 count canvas
- work on a frame - approximately 2' x 2'
- complete their portion of the project within a given time frame (6-8
months during 2006)

Assuming we can use the current center motif, the center sections will
not be divided. Therefore, the center sections will go to 2 sets of
people who are willing to work in teams.

In addition, we will need 2 assemblers. These assemblers will put the
sections together. Stitch the connecting  pattern lines. Stitch an
outer band. Stitch the edging. Block the rug if needed. Add the lining,
rug tape, and backing.

Lastly, the carpets will need to have canvas carryalls made for them to
travel safely and be stored when not in use.

This is a big project, but with the many skilled hands of our
needleworkers, the rugs will finally emerge to add to our Kingdom's
splendor.

In Service,
Sabrina de la Bere
Guild Patron (and thread wrangler)

I'm looking for an Arabic script in cross-stitch and also Islamic
designs to also cross-stitch or do other needlework.  Any help in
finding these would be much appreciated.

I will be going to live in Egypt for 3 to 6 monthes and am hoping to
do some research into needlework and textiles while I'm living there.

Last trip I was only there for a couple of weeks but did notice some
beautiful silk embroidery thread.  I'm hoping to bring some home with
me.  Not sure of the prices, but I think its very reasonable.

I have posted on here asking for help deciding what to do first but I

To: madrigal_chick@...

   Greetings Minister Aelia Apolonia,

   I was searching many sites in and out of the SCA and was directed to yours.
   I and my family were living in New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina. One of the
pieces of property we were able to salvage was a needlepoint picture that my
late grandmother had done for my sister's birth. It was a bird that had been
framed, and had fallen into the flood waters from the break of one of our
levees. The water from this canal was fresh water but contaminated from the
city.
   Half of the work is okay, the lower half is damaged - the colours have run and
it is hard to tell that it used to be a bird. I realise that there is a good
chance that it cannot be saved, but I am checking as many avenues as possible.
   If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

   YIS,
   Brenna McGill/Holly J. Schorling

Good morning,

As most of you know by now, the Barony of Darkwood is creating a tapestry of
approximately 23 panels which will be presented to Their Excellencies and the
Barony at Darkwood's 20th Birthday next year at  the White Shield Tourney &
Feast.   Each of the embroidered panels are recording a bit of Darkwood history.

This morning, we were notified that the panel depicting the Barony's annual Arts
& Sciences event is available and needs an embroiderer.  All of these panels
have been designed by Lord Raymond von dem Lowengrab, a wonderful artist whose
works have graced the pages of our monthly Drum newsletter.

The design has already been transferred to the fabric and the fabric has been
mounted on stretcher bars.  The "kit" includes the necessary Appleton wool
thread, needles, and embroidery instructions.

If you or someone you know would like to embroider this panel, please contact
one of the following people as soon as possible:  Eric Bjornsson at
redbear@... OR Catherine Lorraine of Stonegate Manor at
connyftz@... OR Isela at dcobb@...

This is a fun project, and I'm sure you will be surprised at how quickly the
stitching will go when using wool thread!

Yours in service,

Good evening to you all!

My name is Annora coupe rose, and I'm very happy to have joined your
mailing list. :)  I'm a new convert to needlework, but I love it a lot;
I find it very calming and relaxing.  The apprentice series described
on the Guild website looks very interesting to me.  I'd love a chance
to talk it over with someone.  Are there get-togethers in the Bay Area,
by any chance?  I'll be at March Crown, too.  (...And I just realized
that I sound like an overeager puppy.  I promise I'm calmer in person!)

I've only ever done one complicated piece of embroidery; it was a
Twelfth Night present for my husband.  There's a picture of it at
http://www.nicodemus.org/photos/livejournal/NicoCrest.gif .  I
cheerfully admit that I had no idea what I was doing.  :)

Once again, I'm glad to meet you all!  I look forward to learning from
you.

The Fuzzy Penguin has a fair selection of good-quality supplies. When you're

Greetings All,

I am very new to all of this. I have to mail order most of all my
supplies. I have had very good luck with Nordic Needle. They are a
great source of fibers, tools, and much much more. I was orginally
interrested in Hardanger.To the best of my knowledge it basically
originates in Norway. It combines satin stitches with drawn thread,
cutwork, and needle weaving. This was also were I became acquainted
with Blackwork and Assisi needle work. Just thought you all might find
it a bit interesting.

So if you are of the mind to visit the web site here it is

http://www.nordicneedle.com and they have a great free catalog too.

   For those of you looking for specific embroidery documenation, or info on
specific techniques:  A great resource is the EGA (Embroiders Guild of
America).  For the price of membership ($40 a year), you have access to their
library.  IF you go to their site, click on library, you can see an entire list
of their books.  They will ship them to your door via UPS, and all it costs you
is the shipping charge.  It's a great way to borrow and see books you can't get
from your local library.

Happy Stitching,

Not  only can you order books, but I believe you also have access to their
video library and their embroidery sample boxes.  And they also do some
great workshops and have chapters in the Bay Area (S.F.).  In fact, the West
Coast Regional Seminar this year is going to be held in June in Portland,
Ore. (unfortunately, it is the same weekend as June Crown),  and their
annual national convention (a week long of classes) will be held on the West
Coast in 2010. Plus the EGA offers learning courses you can do right from
your home!

Send Email Send Email
 
I owe everyone profound apologies for being so late getting the winter issue of
Filum Aureum out in the mail. The more so, since I came quite close to actually
having it to mail out before Twelfth Night (which is when it was supposed to be
mailed) -- it was a case of which days I had chosen to go back East to see my
family versus which days Elric, who runs the newsletter off for us, was at work,
and the two just didn't overlap in the right order.

That, and "Life", which seems to specialize in interfering with our hobbies
sometimes!

At any rate, I do most sincerely apologize and I plan to do better.

If you haven't received your copy yet, you should get it in the next few days,
and even though Twelfth Night is past, I hope it will be useful and enjoyable.

And now for the next one, which I've already started to work on!

Subject: Favorite historic style?
chris_laning
Send Email Send Email
 
On to the next topic:

The "Needle's Eye" question for this next issue is: What is your favorite style
of historical needlework, and why?

Historical stitches do not occur in isolation -- a needlework "style" includes
not only characteristic stitch techniques, but also what kinds of materials are
used, what color palette, what motifs, and what kinds of objects are being
decorated with embroidery.

There is blackwork, for instance, which is actually a cluster of related styles
-- including the sort with heavy outlines and counted-thread fillings, the kind
that is mostly double running stitch, and the less common kind that is "shaded"
with little speckling stitches.

Other examples of historical style include canvaswork (as in our Strawberry
Pincushion kit), cord-edged applique (as in our Demi-Sun pouch kit), solidly
worked long-arm cross-stitch (as in our Sens pincushion kit), and counted-thread
whitework (as in our Whitework Bookmark kit) -- and then there's Elizabethan
raised work (a.k.a. "stumpwork") and Opus Anglicanum.

So what style are you personally enjoying the most, at present? What especially
appeals to you about it? What kinds of things do you make, and what have you
learned from it?

I'm collecting answers to this question for the Spring issue of the
West Kingdom Needleworkers Guild's newsletter, _Filum Aureum_, whose
feature article will be on "Embroidered Books." These are for our
"needleworker in the street interview" column, called "Through the
Needle's Eye." I need your answers as soon as possible. If you're not
already on our paper-mail list, I'd be happy to mail anyone a copy of
the newsletter when it comes out in return for your answer (whether I
use it or not). If you want one, send me your mailing address.

And please sign your answer with your _complete_ SCA name and
kingdom. Thanks!

*          *           *          *          *          *          *          *

Standard fine print stuff: If you post an answer, I will assume you have given
permission for your answer to be published. Answers may be edited for brevity,
relevance et cetera.

Out-of-kingdom contributions are welcome, and in fact I try to pass
this notice along to other SCA embroiderers. Please forward freely
(checking first to be sure it's not a duplicate).

Greetings all, Mestra Rafaella from AnTir here.

I'm thinking of doing a kneeling pad for my shire. We
don't use them all that often, but as I found out last
night when I heralded my first baronial court (local
baroness was visiting), we don't got one. :-)

I don't really need help on stitches or design
(thinking long-armed cross stitch in wool on linen).

I would *love* assistance with size (how tall? how
wide? how deep?) and how to piece around 3-d
rectangular foam, or should I even be thinking foam?
maybe wool blanket or something.

Since ya'll often produce great whomps of regalia, I
thought this would be a great place to ask.

Thanks in advance,

Greetings and Salutations!

Life is all about cycles of change and as we venture into the new
season, it's a good time to reflect on what we've accomplished and
what we hope to accomplish. It's a good time to recognize that we are
not the same individuals that we were last year and those changes
could be as small as the length of our hair or as big as complete
lifestyle choices.

Looking towards the future, I'm very excited and nervous about this
upcoming Collegium Occidentalis. The exciting part is that we have
booked a site in Sacramento and this will be the first time Collegium
has come to Cynagua in 2 years and even longer since it's been in the
Sacramento area. I visited the site last Thursday (with our lovely
feast-o-crat, Juana Isabella de Montoya y Ramirez) and it's nice with
a central grassy area and a sizable hall; the herbal collegium was
held there last August. The nervous part is that I am not a resident
of Cynagua nor involved in the Cynaguan art/sciences communities, so
I'm relying on feedback from people who intend to participate
regarding what it is that they want to see. As I continue to send
this message forward to various address lists and yahoo-groups, I
hope that Cynaguans who may have been reluctant to travel to the
Mists in the past see this as a wonderful opportunity to participate
in Collegium and respond with enthusiasm.

As the platform for the event, we have classes and an A&S Display. Is
there anything else that would make this event a fun educational
experience? I am open to your ideas on what you'd like to see at this
event:  Fighting activities? Dancing? Something else? Is there

event? I'm open to your thoughts and welcome anyone who wants to help
participate in making this event fun.

Juana Isabella will be doing the feast in the evening. I am looking

event is a wonderful place to meet all sorts of fun and creative
people and I will gladly find a role for any volunteers.

In addition to this, this is my final Collegium event. If you are

This is forwarded from another group but thought it would be of
interest to any needleworkers in the Sacramento area.

Please spread the word to needle workers: I'm not sure how soon, but
saw that the store front is for lease and Viscountess Megen got
a "store closing" flyer in the mail. I'm not sure of the details (last
date of business, sale prices, etc.), but thought some on this list
would be interested to know.

Unfortunately true. The Fuzzy Penguin is closing. Beginning yesterday
they are having their series of closing sales. I believe the sales
extend through the 15th which is supposed to be their last day.

In Service,

The Fuzzy Penguin will be closed by the end of the month.

  Doesn't it just stink?

I am researching to purchase a digital camera to take good quality
macro photos.  I know Iuletta and Christian had experience with museum
quality digital photography, if they are anyone else would share their
info I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

Francesca

I'm interested in that too -- especially digital cameras that work
well in low light, since textiles are usually kept in darkened room.s

Add me to the wanna know list.  We are planning a trip to New York next summer
for my eldest's graduation from college and of course we must hit the Met and
the Cloisters!
