Mouse TalesVol 7 - Issue 1 January 2008Contents
President's MessageIt is a time of beginnings; a new year, a new presidency and a new challenge. However, I need to tidy up some old business first. Kelly challenged our members to make an Artist's Trading Card (ATC) and I offered to run a swap. I also challenged myself to make one ATC for every member who sent at least one in for the swap. The deadline to participate in this swap is January 31, 2008. Also, I have started to collect items for our chapter's Blues-themed Opportunity Knocks basket for Share-A-Stitch XXVIII in Memphis. If you have something you would like to add to the basket, please mail it to me at the address below. It would be helpful if you mark the package or the contents as destined for seminar. Rissa Peace Root Speaking of seminar, the brochure for "Stitchin' in Memphis" is now available on the TVR website. Several members of the chapter are planning to attend and this might mark the greatest representation by our chapter at any regional seminar. I look forward to seeing so many members of our chapter in person. National Seminar is also in our region this year. The 50th Anniversary "Golden Gala" will be held in Louisville, Kentucky. The brochure should be included in your March issue of Needle Arts. I was able to preview the projects in Chicago and I have to say, it an amazing and tantalizing variety of classing being offered. With luck, some of you might be able to attend. Now for a little new business! I have issued my first President's Challenge. Although it is not directly needlework related, I wanted to share the voyage of artistic self-discovery offered by Julia Cameron's Artist's Way. So far, a bunch of you have ordered the book and joined the CyberStitchers Artist's Way special interest group. We plan to begin the twelve week program in February, but you can start at any time and do not have to join our Yahoo Group in order to participate. I hope that this book will help many of you to recognize yourself as artists and nurture your creativity. I look forward to the coming year with great joy and anticipation. Rissa
Chapter NewsA reminder, we have a new mailing address for CyberStitchers. It is actually simpler. National announced a dues increase of $3.00 starting January 1, 2008. Happily, the chapter has a little money that members have donated "for the good of the chapter". The Board has decided to these fund to benefit everyone, and will absorb the increase for the first year and not raise dues until 2009. Share-a-Stitch basket: The Region's Share-a-Stitch regional seminar is in June 2008. CyberStitchers will join other chapters in having a 'basket' to donate to the Tea Cup Auction fundraiser. Rissa will be collecting until the end of May. Please send your donations to her at her Jackson address above. Please make sure you mark the package SAS, or something to let Rissa know what it is. Rissa has started a database at tinyurl.com/2grmhf to let you know what has been donated to date. This list will reflect what Rissa actually has in hand. Special Interest Groups: Check out our SIGs - Special Interest Groups. Different stitchers have gotten together for specific interests and stitch-a-longs: Beading, stitching a Christmas ornament each month, Victoria Sampler/Lavendar & Lace designs, Brag Book, "Heart of My Heart" pattern stitch-a-long, Inspirations Magazine projects, the Dragonboat class, and of course, a UFO (Unfinished Fiber Object) group for members to encourage each other to finish GCC and EGA class pieces. Go to SIGs on our website to see what is going on. 50th Anniversary Stitching Challenges: Challenge #1: Stitch a 50th anniversary piece of your own design. Use the number 50, EGA blue and gold, 50 symbols, 50 threads or whatever you would like to creatively celebrate our anniversary through stitches. Send it in as a special gift/fund-raising/auction item for seminar week. For the last few years we have had a wonderful selection of needle art on display and for sale at seminar through both live and silent auctions. Challenge #2: Participate in National Stitch in Public Day, Wednesday, September 3, 2008. This date was chosen so that as many seminar participants as possible could stitch and demonstrate in the downtown Louisville area. Chapters and MALs can get the stitch vibe going along side seminar participants by doing the same in your local area. Stitch on your lunch break at the office or at school, stitch in libraries or book stores, stitch in you local parks or other downtown public areas. Elise Lampton, Ruth Whalen, and Mary Julia Kuhn will chair the event and work with staff members Laura Olah and Brad Cape to combine challenges 2 and 3. The committee will share ideas for your participation. Challenge #3: Participate in a public installation of fiber art. EGA will join with other groups in the Louisville area in a public installation of fiber art. We hope to entice local and international groups to stitch and bond with us. To participate in this event, send a 12 inch by 12 inch two dimensional embroidery to EGA headquarters by July 20, 2008. The ground fabric edges must be flat finished in some way (bound or hemmed) and no piece should be framed. These items will not be returned to you, but will become part of a permanent collection. This will be an excellent way to expose the public to our celebration in stitches in an outdoor setting. We invite you to send both basic and unusual pieces as an expression of different ideas and techniques to show the varied expertise of EGA members. EGA will sponsor a "people's choice award" and give a year's membership to the top three winners. Challenge #4: EGA challenges you to share us your unique ideas for celebrating our Golden Anniversary! Send them to presega@egausa.org . I look forward to hearing from you!
Education ReportThe education committee, composed of Anne Long, Ellen Hartman, and Rissa Peace Root presents the following report.... We have a number of GCCs in various stages of progress: Beaded Nutcrackers, section 2 The budget for 2008 does include a BEE 5. We are offering 11 GCC classes to the chapter for our members only. For the newer members of the chapter, BEE stands for "Big Education Event" and this is our 5th year offering it! The chapter votes on which GCCs to offer - the 11 classes with the most votes are selected - and then each member has the opportunity to select 1 of the 11 classes to take for the cost of the text book alone. The chapter picks up the course fee and postage for you! Polling took place at cyberstitchers_ega yahoogroup and everyone will have a chance to vote for the class you would like to have offered. I do consider your vote to be somewhat binding - as in, if you vote for a class that is selected, then you are automatically on the class list. If your class is not selected, you of course have the opportunity to select another class. Don't forget to check and see which classes are being offered online by EGA National. There are 2 classes offered every 2 months, and this is another option for taking GCCs. The January - February offerings from National are Winterspring and Silk & Metal Embroidery. Respectfully submitted, Most Successful Programs: Instead of a Petite Project, Anne Long told me I could present some of the Tennessee Valley Region's Most Successful Programs as our group stitching events. These are very similar to Petite Projects, except that they were developed by chapters on a local level, then donated to the region in order to be presented to other TVR chapters as educational events. First up, is one that I did for my local chapter, Mississippi NeedleArts, which recently became part of the TVR. It consists of several files: the redwork primer, stitch diagrams, a pattern, and some other extraneous material. The project materials are located on this list, under files --> TVR Most Successful Program. It is several separate files, instead of one large one, but they are all in PDF or JPG format: http://tinyurl.com/yvopk9 I hope that you will enjoy this project and the others that will be presented as chapter events over the next year or more. Rissa Peace Root BAM: BAM is Bead-a-Month and grew out of a SAM, Stitch-a-Month, program we purchased for several years. Our own Rissa picked up with BAM when SAM ran out of new files. The current SAM/BAM stitch is the Lazy Stitch. All diagrams are maintained in the CS-Stitch-A-Month yahoogroup. Look in the Files section in the Folder labeled "Files for BAM". If you are not a member of the CS-Stitch-A-Month group but would like to be, send an email to: CS-Stitch-a-Month-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Stitch-a-long: We have a few stitch-a-long groups going now such as the ornament group and a bead group. Please let me know if there is an interest in a group stitchalong, a small meeting stitchalong, or any other similar ideas you might have. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me. Please address Education Committee questions to:
Outreach ProjectsStar Pillows This project is still in full swing. Using the cross stitch pattern provided by the chapter, you stitch a small design on a 6x6 inch square of 14ct. white Aida and then mail it to our Chapter Project Coordinator. The stitched squares will then be assembled into small pillows with similarly-themed backing fabrics. The completed mini-pillows will be donated to Bergstrom Air Force Base Youth Development Center in Shreveport, La., and Lehigh Valley Blue Star Mothers of Allentown, Pa., who will give the pillows to their military personnel who are about to deploy to various locations overseas. The soldier will kiss the pillow and give it to his or her child, as a keepsake that will hopefully comfort the child during the separation from their parent. The pattern may be found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cyberstitchers_ega/files/KISSING%20PILLOWS%20pattern/ as a PDF document (or, go into the Files section in this group, and click on the folder Kissing Pillows Pattern); if you need technical assistance, please contact Lynn via e-mail. As you can see, the stitchery is very simple and uses only three colors of floss. It stitches up very, very quickly; I was able to stitch one in spare moments during one day! Meg has volunteered to serve as Project Coordinator for the Kissing Pillows Chapter Project. She is the chapter member you will mail your stitched design to, and she will be sure that the squares are assembled into mini-pillows and sent on to the final distribution point. Contact Meg via email for her mailing address. We hope that many chapter members will find this project to their liking and that Meg will receive many stitched squares! Just a few items to bring to your attention: Yes there is a Canadian version of this project for Canadian service folks. Lynne D., one of our Canadian members is coordinating this in her f2f chapter in Ontario. Contact Lynne D. by email to get the pattern and information for the Canadian version of this project. Bookmarks For Literacy Judi continues to accept handmade bookmarks for the chapter's Bookmarks for Literacy project. The requirements are as follows: Outreach for One Our "Outreach for One" folder is still there to provide members with other ideas for outreach. Go to our cyberstitchers_ega Yahoo! group. Click on "Links", then on "Outreach for One" folder. Maintenance of this list now rests with the chapter members. We encourage members to post other links to charities you know of that need assistance, or you can send the information to our Outreach Chair, Lynn, and the committee will see that it gets posted. The committee always welcomes any ideas for chapter projects (either from the membership or the committee). As usual, it's a bit difficult to find something a chapter like ours can do. Any ideas will be gratefully accepted, and will be fully investigated by the committee. Please share your ideas with our Outreach Chair, Lynn.
Of InterestEGA National has a website, www.egausa.org. It shows all the education opportunites, has a calendar of events, and has some interesting articles on the subpage for Needlearts magazine. Our region, Tennessee Valley, also has a website: www.egatvr.com. Info for region seminar doesn't reflect Seminar 2008 in Memphis just yet, but will shortly. Check it out. An Invitation to a Great Workshop: The Mississippi NeedleArts Chapter in Jackson, MS, extends an invitation to all Cyberstitchers members to come to Jackson on March 8, 2008, for a one-day crewel embroidery workshop with Barbara Jackson. Details as to fees, location, and hotel and dining arrangements are being finalized. Please send an email to Cynthia if you are interested. Have a peek at Barbara's gorgeous work at her website: www.tristanbrooks.com, or pull out your March 2007 Needle Arts magazine and try not to drool on the cover photograph of the class she taught (and I took!) at National Seminar 2007 in Chicago. (Cynthia S. Wetzel) Invite to an ANG class: The Gateway Chapter of invites ANG members (many of us are ANG members, but non-ANG members may sign up for an extra $15) to our Susan Goodman Workshop Saturday and Sunday, April 12th & 13th in St. Louis, MO - Sampling the Snowfall. During the sampler class you will receive an introduction to transferring photos to fabric and canvas AND stitch a canvas sampler - an adaptation from a Monet painting. The cost is $120 for ANG members ($135 for non-members) which includes the $45 kit fee. The kit includes congress cloth with transferred picture, threads to complete sampler, congress cloth for extra transfer, paper printed transfer picture, and instructions. If you have any questions, you can contact our VP Programs, Susan Lucco, at programs@gatewayang.org or check out our website www.gatewayang.org. Temari Classes: If you live anywhere near Raliegh, NC, and are interested in learning to make those fascinating and gorgeous temari balls, check out www.japanesetemari.com/japanese-temari-classes.html. I found mention of temari classes being given in National Seminar 2008 and this teacher also teaches in Raleigh. Some classes are at an LNS called The French Knot, and some are at her house. I wish I lived closer! (Sue) Dragonboats Class: The Dragonboats class is still up and running on yahoogroups. People still continue to join - especially some of our new members. If you are interested in making one of these cute little ornaments, the class is free for all members. Go to yahoogroups.com and sign up for CSDragonboats, or email Sue for an invitation.
Haru Sakura:Ok, some of you have heard me mumbling about a set of projects I wanted to create for everyone. Here it is, my New Year's gift to my fellow CyberStitchers. This is the first of a series of 4 small, simple projects to run in the newsletter throughout the year. It is based on the 4 seasons. The designs come out of my experiences with my friends in my sister city, Niimi, in Japan. I am stitching my designs on 24 ct. congress cloth, but you may choose to use a different ground. Some of the more adventerous of you may treat this as a crewel or surface embroidery, and play with different stitches. I will list the fibers I have used, but feel free to substitute from your stash. I confess I went on quite a scavenger hunt as I selected fibers, choosing fibers based on type, color, and even the color name (really!).While I did take one class in Japanese embroidery, I stopped at that one class. Know you limits LOL. Thus, I am aware of Japanese embroidery techniques, and allowed SOME influences, but I took off in my own direction as I interpreted my design. That said, here is your first design, "Haru Sakura" (Note: as I finish the stitching, the below image will be updated.)
'Haru' is the Japanese word for 'Spring'. It is pronounced 'ha-roo'. 'Sakura', many of you may know, means 'cherry blossom', and is pronounced 'sah-koo-rah'. Spring in Japan is not complete without seeing the beloved sakura in bloom. In the April 2007 newsletter are pictures I took of the cherry blossoms in Kyoto. People plan their vacations to include blossom viewing, and blossom viewing parties at set up, throwing blankets on the ground in the park and packing a picnic basket. Sometimes towns string lanterns in the trees. My design is stitched on 24 count Soft Mocha Congress Cloth. See what I mean about picking fibers for their color name LOL. In picking the green I had Vineyard Silk Classic by Wiltex Threads in a color called "Spring". LOL. This said, you can certainly use a lot of things out of your stash. DMC or Anchor floss can be easily substituted for the Soie d'Alger, and most likely the Gloriana. Soy Luster is a thicker strand so you may want to look at something like Caron Wildflowers or a flower thread. Soy Luster Shadows or Wildflowers are variegated fibers. Soy Luster also comes in solid colors. Ok, on to stitching...finally! Here is your design:
The desing area is approximately 5x7 inches. I cut my congress cloth 10 x 12 to have room for however I decide to frame it. (I have a few ideas for framing that I'll discuss with the later designs; I'm sure to change my mind several times.) You will need to print out this design. Be sure that it comes out about 5x7 (5 x 6.75). I am going to put the actual file in the cyberstitchers.org files to be sure the original design size is available to you. Of course, you may choose to make yours larger or smaller depending on your choice of fabric and fibers. If you are working on congress cloth, or doing a larger version on a larger count canvas, you can place the design behind the canvas, and trace the design on to your ground. I used an ultra fine point Permanent ink Sharpie pen. Some people prefer a pencil, but do not use the standard #2 pencil - it is too soft and will smear. You are looking for a #4 pencil. Trace my dark red lines onto your fabric. I stitched the black kanji character first. The kanji is the character for 'Haru'. Despite all the structure for teaching children proper calligraphy techniques, the modern world with it's ball point pens and computers has lost some of the beauty of kanji. There are different style much like we see with different fonts with English letters. Calligraphy of course varies much as our own cursive handwriting. I have followed each 'stroke' with an outline stitch. Note, at the right edge of the three horizontal strokes there is a tiny stitch - that imitates the way the brush strokes are created if you were drawing the kanji character properly with a calligraphy brush. You can see I could also use the way I stitched the outline to make parts of the 'strokes' look thicker. I used 2 strands of Soie d'Alger for this. Be careful when starting and ending your thread so that your ends are hidden in the character. I started with away knot, and wove in both ends carefully.
The sakura were stitched by filling in each petal with split stitches placed side by side.. I used 3 strands of the Gloriana and laid them in order to get good coverage. I started at the outer edge of each petal and worked toward the center, completing each petal before moving on to another. The sheen of the silk will make the petals stand out from one another as the light hits them.
The leaves use 1 strand of the Soy Luster (I would also use 1 strand with the Wildflowers). The stitch is called the closed fly stitch. It will create your vein as it goes. Make a straight stitch from the point of the leaf, down to about where the vein line is. Now do a fly stitch so that the two sides of the stitch touch up again the straight stitch. The tiedown for the fly stitch will be tiny. Continue placing fly stitchs, one just outside the last one. What happens is this: the V's of the fly stitches sit inside each other, and the couching stitch creates a stitched line for the vein. Fill in the leaf placing the ends of the fly stitches on the black lines for the edge of the leaf. You may need to place a few compensating stitches at the bottom of your leaf to fill in around the petals. The yellow stamen of the flowers are stitched with 2 strands of the yellow Gloriana. You make a french knot, but you leave a tail. To do this, you come up through the fabric, then move the needle forward across the fabric so that you create the tail, that make the knot at a short distance from where you came up. You will see that there are some small, individual petals, reminescent of petals falling from the trees. Those are simply satin stitched with 3 strands of Gloriana. To finish up, take your fiber that matches your ground. Use one strand to do an outline stitch along the curves. You can then run a few straight stitches randomly and horizontally in between the two curves.You will often see something like this on a fabric printed with Japanese designs, especially some of the quilt fabrics that are popular now. I hope you all enjoy my little piece of spring. I promise you, everyone falls in love with sakura - even those of us who weren't necessarily fans of the color pink In the next newsletter, April, we will be looking at a summer design. All I am going to tell you is that it is similar in layout, but summer appropriate!
