Simsbury Display
Please take the opportunity to visit our display at the Simsbury Public Library through
the end of May. The space in Simsbury is larger than in Granby and is entirely within
locked cases that are 54 inches tall with many movable shelves. This was a chance to show
off some of our larger pieces, as well as our smaller ones!
Since this is a space new to us, the only "theme" was some of our favorites, pieces we were
especially proud of, whether they were EGA classes or commercial kits or our own designs, no
matter when they were finished. Pieces will be returned during our June 10, 2023 meeting
at Thistle Needleworks, Wethersfield.
Saturday, June 10th,
2023
Our program will be in person at Thistle Needleworks. We will have lots of
Show and Tell. We will continue to work on our Just for Fun! piece by Caela Conn Tyler.
"Just for Fun! A Study in Textures" was a cyber class by Caela Conn Tyler back in 2002.
Linda Berry stitched it and saved the detailed instructions with large scale diagrams and the
emailed lectures and colored pictures sent with each lesson. Stitches include whipped back
stitch, Katie's Stitch, free-form needle weaving, web stitch, attaching beads, irregular eyelets &
pulled coil, Rhodes circle, diamond darning pattern, flat diamond stitch, cushion cross corners, whipped
spiders, diamond eyelets, Smyrna cross, looped ribbon and beads, filet stitch, large woven star, and loop
stitch. The piece is stitched on Congress cloth 12" x 12"
(design is 6" diameter).

Zoom Class with Wendy Moore
"Kimono Imperial Ornament"
This delightfully sophisticated ornament finishes as a 4”x4” Mini-Kimono. As an ornament,
this kimono highlights a beautiful Bargello pattern in Imperial gold, red, and blue. Using DMC Floche,
Kreinik metallics, DMC & ThreadworX over-dyed floss, and a few beads, this kimono will make an
impression. You will explore how wonderfully the Bargello pattern fits into the kimono and
stitch a unique variation of an octagonal Rhodes stitch. The kit will include the canvas,
all the threads and beads, instructions and photos. Student will provide 8” stretcher bars
(2 pair), laying tool, frame or frame weight, usual stitching supplies, and light and magnification if desired.
A registration coupon is provided for this meeting. The deadline is
October 1st. |
