Saturday, February 2nd, 2019 (Snow date: February 9th)

Our needlework exhibit at Seabury has been scheduled!  Pieces for the show should be brought to this meeting but if that isn’t convenient for you, please send an email to klg7641@comcast.net to make arrangements to bring them as late as February 28th.  Please provide a short biography of yourself plus small paper signs with “not too technical” information about the pieces submitted, along with the title, designer’s name, and stitcher’s name.  There is only wall space in the gallery, so all pieces must be able to be hung.

Saturday, April 6th, 2019     Annual Meeting
            “Little Japanese Girl”

This lovely Little Japanese Girl worked in Rozashi is a traditional oriental motif often used to fete the occasion Girls’ Doll Festival Day which is celebrated on March 3rd.  On this day at home, dolls are displayed on shelves and girls are dressed in their finest clothes, and often taken to nearby shrines to thank guardian deities for their healthy growth and good health.  This custom is also observed to help teach young girls femininity.  This ancient Japanese technique employs silk and metallic threads on a specially woven silk canvas-like fabric called Ro.  The thread used is a twisted silk thread and a metallic laquered thread with a silk core.  Four basic Rozashi stitches will be taught with some variations.  Finishing techniques will be explored.

A coupon is provided for this meeting.  The deadline for registration is April 1st.
 

Saturday, June 8th, 2019     “Tea Cozy Party”

Hopefully each member will bring a tea cozy that they are working on as we prepare them for the exhibit at the Boston Tea Party.  If you haven’t started one, come with an idea and begin your plans for it.  Below is an earlier press release:
