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.

“Tea Cozy Party”
Hopefully each member will bring a tea cozy that they are working on as we prepare them
for an exhibit at the “Boston Stitch Party.” As a reminder, NER is pulling together
cozies from the whole region for an exhibit at the 2020 National Seminar on
September 4th through 8th. A cozy can be any size, any technique,
any motif or design. A basic cozy template sketch is available in past issues of the
newsletter on our website. We could also share hints on how to assemble & finish a cozy.
If you don’t plan to make one, please join us anyway and bring whatever stitching you
would like to work on. We’d love to have your company!

Autumn Fireworks
This design by Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes at www.beautifulstitches.com.au is offered as a gift to all stitchers.
It is a great way to experiment with a range of canvaswork stitches using variegated thread
and three coordinating solid colors. It will work beautifully as a bookmark, as
decoration on a journal cover, or perhaps as a beautiful accent on a small handbag or iPad
cover. We will supply the fabric and the directions, but you get to choose your colors,
from your stash or at the store.
A coupon is provided for this meeting.
