Here is the one I made using threads from my stash. The tree is the suggested Watercolours thread, which gives a nice softly-textured contrast to the shinier DMC pearl cotton. I used a DMC blue and tan overdye for the background and a gold ribbon thread from stash for the trunk and gold frame. I had a metallic white I used for the flecks in the tree. I think it looks a bit like snow. This piece is a great use of stash but again, if you need to buy threads for this, #5 pearl cotton is inexpensive and awesome. The Joann's store in Ontario near the Ontario Mills has a nice selection of solid and overdyed #5 pearl cotton, the metallic pearl cotton if you want that, and they currently take competitors coupons. In fact, they will take both a coupon from Hobby Lobby and from Michael's on the same transaction!<br />

Too many of our members were off to a national or regional seminar. Over the years, seminars shifted to different times of the year but we kept August dark. Each year the debate raged whether or not we should meet in August. Should we honor or break with tradition? Was it too hot to meet or should we offer an air-conditioned place of respite? Did our members already have enough projects?<br />
<br />
We decided to create a new tradition.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
An annual ice cream social.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We thought a few members would show up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had a lot of folks show up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">LIKE EVERYONE SHOWED UP.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">And a new tradition was born.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our August 15 meeting will be <span style="font-size: x-large;">ICE CREAM<span style="font-size: small;"> and bring your favorite needlework-related book to share. The book can be a designer's book you love, a collection of stitch diagrams, and antique (or copy because a bunch are in the public domain now) or fictional story featuring needlework. Come share with us and have some <span style="font-size: x-large;">ICE CREAM<span style="font-size: small;">. Bring something to work on too if you like, just be aware that the room will be awash in, you guessed it, <span style="font-size: x-large;">ICE CREAM.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Part 1 had us stitch a variety of colors in a simple design. Part 2, which we will do at our July 18 meeting, will have us evaluate the effects of our colors and also learn to use a color wheel.<br />
<br />
We will be having our annual Ice Cream Social at our August 15 meeting. Bring your favorite needlework book along to share.<br />
<br />
September 19 and October 17 meetings will be the Mini Checked Pine from the December 2017 issue of the EGA magazine NeedleArts. Designed by Mary Waldsmith of Owl Stitchery, this little 3-inch square piece has 16 different canvas stitches! <br />

Melinda gave us a brief history of Renaissance Fairs in the USA and her experience joining the Society of Creative Anachronism. Her RenFair interest led to interest in Elizabethan-era needlework (she wanted to do accurate needlework in her accurate costume). She came to a meeting last year and presented a wonderful program on Blackwork and Elizabethan Goldwork. So February was about what women in the Upper and Merchant classes wore and how needlework was likely incorporated.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Every woman of any class started with a linen shift, a knee-length loose
gown with full sleeves. When you have to run into the yard, you throw
on a robe and so did Elizabethan women.<br />

<br />
<br />
Elizabethan underwear for the upper class. Melinda assured us that the corset was surprisingly comfortable. There was often one or more petticoats too. Melinda shared that some regions encouraged the hoop lines to show while others wanted the skirts to be perfectly smooth. Ah, the fickleness of fashion. Women of every class wore the same type of underpants: none. Just like Scotsmen with kilts, women of every class wore nothing under their skirts.<br />
<br />
The only garments that were laundered regularly was the shift. The absorbent linen would collect body soils and perspiration and was actually more effective in keeping a person odor-free than bathing.<br />
<br />

This lady is dressed. Over the hooped underskirt a lady would put on another garment with a decorative front followed by a dress that fitted over all. This was followed up by pinned-on sleeves, then ruffs around the wrists and neck. If it was chilly, a light coverup was pinned over the ladies bodice. In fact, pins were everywhere. That's where the phrase "pin money" meaning a little extra money for clothing accessories comes from. The hair was covered by a scarf, then a cap pinned to an ear iron, then a hat of some kind.<br />
<br />
Melinda was very excited to tell us about <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/218981051/oorijzer-or-ear-irons" target="_blank">ear irons</a>. Historians have long wondered how women kept the caps firmly on their heads. The realization that ear irons kept the cap not only shaped but created a base for the cap to be firmly attached to the head only came about recently because they were so common that people didn't bother to write about them. How many things do we do today that are so common, so widely known and unquestioned, that we don't bother to record any details for posterity?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Melinda also had a costume for the merchant class. The woman would
start with a shift, an overgarment, and then cover it with a kirtle. It's basically a dress
with boning in it. There is no corset or petticoat because the kirtle
contained the clothing's structure. Again, Melinda touted it's comfort.<br />
<br />
Because women's bodies change over time because of pregnancy and aging, all these garments are highly adjustable. And there were no size tags!<br />
<br />

Here is a photo of the top. We haven't done a silk ribbon embroidery piece in several years. If you're interested, call Georgette (look at the newsletter page) and let her know so she'll reserve a kit for you. The cost should be about $7. Bring size 24 and/or size 26 chenille needles and a 5" or 6" hoop and scissors. We look forward to seeing you there.<br />
<br />
We welcome new members of all levels of experience. Plus we are fun! See you on March 16 in Ontario, California.Baldy View EGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10544627792216673440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448877735173103442.post-68298672637502074542015-09-13T20:12:00.000-07:002015-09-13T20:12:47.069-07:00August Meeting 2015 UpdateWe had our annual ice cream social at this meeting. Really, who does NOT like an ice cream social? Even if you don't eat ice cream, most people are having at least a small dish and they're happy, happy, happy!<br />
<br />
We had even more reason to be happy because Pat C. taught the remainder of the Hapsburg Lace project. Her notes are posted below.<br />

It is stitched on 18-count canvas and uses many different stitches. The kit includes everything needed except the stretcher bars. It comes in two color choices - green and pink or red, white, and blue. The kit is $20.00 and the pattern is $15.00. However, Baldy View is covering $10.00 towards members' patterns so their cost is only $25.00. Let Georgette know if you want to participate at the September meeting or call her at 909-920-1931. Sign-ups close Thursday night September 17. Check the newsletter for more information.<br />

Our program in September is a DVD of the Italian Embroidery Treasurers lecture given by Vima de Marchi Micheli at the EGA National Seminar in October 2014. She shared a lifetime of research about embroidery customs from all over Italy. And we'll have Helen's famous caramel corn popcorn!<br />
<br />
We will be meeting again on Wednesday September 16 at the US Bank building at Euclid and D Street in downtown Ontario, California. Social time begins at 6:30 with the actual meeting beginning at 7:00. Our next stitch in will be Wednesday, September 23. Check the stitch in page above for more information.</div>

After a brief business meeting, Laurie McClellan from El Segundo Chapter presented part two of her emery bag project.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So why have an emery bag? You know that cute little strawberry often attached to a tomato pin cushion? That is supposed to be filled with a fine grit emery sand. Emery comes in black or white (there is no difference in quality). The purpose is to sharpen and polish your needles. You simply poke the needle into the emery several times. Laurie emphasized several points about good emery bags: 1. It should be packed in a tightly woven fabric then encased in another fabric. You don't want sand leaking everywhere, and if any does make it through the tight fabric, it should be caught by the second layer; 2. Don't use any synthetic fabrics in your bag construction. They will dull your needles, which takes away the benefit of using the bag in the first place; 3. Don't use the emery bag as a pin cushion. Emery has a small amount of moisture in it because it's sand. Your needles will rust left in emery; and 4. Only use your emery bag for sharp needles. Tapestry needles have a blunt tip and won't go through the bag fabric without making a hole. Since Laurie is the curious type that does unspeakable things like cut open little fabric strawberries to see what's really inside, she told us that a lot of those little strawberries are actually filled with wood shavings. They make the strawberry look cute, but they don't do much for your needles.<br />
<br />
Our May meeting was covering a button with beads. Laurie's kits included a button she had covered for us in Ultra Suede with an initial button already glued in place, lots of different seed beads, some accent beads, needles, beading thread and a beading mat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Laurie again came with everything all organized and ready so that the project could likely be completed during the meeting. She had made little <a href="http://sewing.about.com/od/embellishment/ss/basicyoyo.htm" target="_blank">yo yos</a> of tightly woven muslin, filled them with white emery sand, and sewed the tops firmly shut. She had all-wool felt in different colors, charms, trims, and colored beading thread. We had to cut the right-sized felt circle, make a yo yo, tuck the emery-filled yo yo inside it, and then sew on the button. We then trimmed it out with something pretty and finished it off with a charm.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The bag is about 1 1/2 inch across. It's an attractive and useful addition to our stitching tools. <br />

Our meeting on June 17 was pretty much the usual. First, people started drifting in about 6:30, found a comfortable seat (isn't it funny how we tend to prefer the same seat?), grabbed a snack from our new snack table, and started to talk. Then we started the business portion at about 7:00 and got the boring part our of the way ASAP. Then we got to our program.<br />
<br />
Pat C. taught our new project, Hapsburg Lace Sampler by Tanja Berlin. She talked a bit about the background of Hapsburg Lace, about which frankly not a lot is known. She did point out that about 25 years ago, there was some interest by a local designer. Pat said there were knots used, oh so many knots. Here is a pic of one of the old design leaflets. <br />

a beaded Ultrasuede-covered button surrounded by beads to top an emery

Laurie planned it to go along with our mermaid project that was our January birthday gift to our members. We paired on online freebie with linen, threads, a jewel and teeny pearls. The design is from from the blog <a href="http://www.xstitchhappy.net/2014/05/mermaid-scissor-fob.html" target="_blank">Cross Stitch Happy</a>. We finished it as a pincushion with the trim stitchers' choice.<br />

Our members were encouraged to choose canvas and thread of their choice that had a strong contrast. As long as the blog doesn't fall into any more cracks, we should have some more photos to post in a few months. <br />

Our next meeting will be on June 17 at the US Bank Building at 333 N. Euclid Avenue, Ontario, California. We meet at 6:30 for social time and 7:00 for the business meeting and program. Stitchers of all experience are welcome. Remember, the EGA concentrates on any technique that uses a needle with an eye. See you there!<br />

Ruth P. is working on a hardanger runner from Nordic Needle. She got all the way around the everything matched up, but when she started the inner section, it didn't fit. It turned out that she'd made the exact same counting error in the mirror image spot at the opposite end, so half of her stitching had to be taken out! But it will be very pretty when it's done. This is a beginner piece and is really fairly simple to stitch. Hardanger is quite sturdy.<br />

We had a visitor today who received a needlepoint lesson from Denise M. We look forward to seeing her again.<br />

Once again, thank you to Hobby Lobby and the Upland general manager Meribel for allowing us to use the classroom. Our next stitch gathering will be Monday July 8. Needle workers of all levels are welcome. We'd love to see what you're working on. Our regular meeting will be in Ontario on Wednesday June 19 at the US Bank building at "D" Street and Euclid at 7:00. </div>
Baldy View EGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10544627792216673440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448877735173103442.post-3204806169301663392013-05-31T13:44:00.000-07:002013-05-31T13:44:06.167-07:00May MeetingWe've all been absorbed by our stitching for hours and ended up with neck or back pain or general stiffness. You may even know someone who ended up with a serious injury as a result of stitching in a poor position. Our May program addressed this issue. Baldy View member Marilyn M. is a physical therapist. She talked about the problem of repetitive injury.<br />
<br />
Marilyn came with a variety of props from a tiny hoop to a model of the human spine. Did you know that the bone at the spine that supports your head is about the same size as a finger bone? Or that you are placing ten times your total body weight on the base of your spine when you are sitting down? No wonder we get stiff and sore sometimes!<br />
<br />
After going over basic body mechanics, Marilyn began to give us some general guidelines on how to reduce the risk of injury while stitching. Since we want to see Marilyn at our meetings and not in her office, we listened carefully. Sit with your knees parallel to the floor with your feet on a footstool or flat on the ground. Use proper lumbar support. Take frequent breaks by putting a really annoying timer across the room so you have to get up to turn it off. Keep your chart close to your stitching so that you turn your head less and reduce stress on that tiny bone. Use a floor or lap stand to avoid clutching your hoop or frame and to allow both arms to move freely. Have your tools close by so that you don't have to twist or stretch to reach them.<br />
<br />
I found this diagram from 1992 online. Check out the old monitor! But really, substitute "television" for "monitor" and "needlework" for "keyboard" and it's any of us on a typical evening of stitching.<br />

<br />
This is not an endorsement of these items or vendors, just a start to get you thinking about what's out there. Useful items for stitching can be found in both local and online needlework stores. Office supply and hardware stores are also good places to find useful items. So many of us struggle to get time to stitch as all that it's a shame when we lose more time because we hurt ourselves so let's all stay safe.<br />
<br />
Marilyn also had us all stand up and do this exercise.<br />

When we were done, we all gasped in amazement. It felt really good!<br />
<br />
We will have our next meeting on Wednesday, June 19 at 7:00 at the US Bank, <span class="pp-headline-item pp-headline-address"><span>333 N Euclid Ave, Ontario, CA</span>. Park behind the building and come into the community room just to the right of the bank's door. We are there starting at 6:30 for social time. <a href="http://phebies2.com/" target="_blank">Phebie</a> of Brazilian Embroidery fame will be presenting a small project for those who signed up in advance. Even if you didn't sign up, come anyway and learn about this fascinating embroidery technique.</span><br />
<span class="pp-headline-item pp-headline-address"><br /></span>
<span class="pp-headline-item pp-headline-address">We will also be hosting our community stitch gathering on Monday, June 10 from 10:00-4:40 at the Hobby Lobby, </span><span class="pp-headline-item pp-headline-address"><span>420 S Mountain Ave, Upland, CA</span>. It's just off the 10 freeway at Mountain Avenue. Come all day or for a few minutes. We're in the classroom at the right rear of the store, just right of the framing counter. Lunch is available at one of the many restaurants in the area including the new Honeybaked Ham Cafe. Across the street is <a href="http://www.handelsicecream.com/inthenews/index.html" target="_blank">Handel's Ice Cream</a> considered to be one of the best ice creams on the planet. And of course, there is stitching!

While Margaret's design included a bonus chart for the heart on the left, our kit supplied thread for the heart on the right. Do you see the difference between the green on each heart? The one on the right is actually a two-sided italian cross while the one on the right is standard cross stitch.<br />

Our Show-and-Tell time included some little stitched gingerbread house ornaments from Ruth P. She also completed the ornament kit that was the chapter gift to our members. Denise M. also brought in her <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/image/37/1" target="_blank">Rainforest Revisited</a> stitched on congress cloth. Georgette B. showed off her Cleopatra's Cat stitched on black congress cloth.<br />

We plan on being at Hobby Lobby in Upland on Monday, May 13 for a stitching time. Our next meeting will be on May 15 at 7:00 at the USBank building at Euclid and "D" Streets in Ontario, California. See you there!Baldy View EGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10544627792216673440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448877735173103442.post-51363476593742518162013-03-08T00:31:00.000-08:002013-03-08T00:31:11.878-08:00February MeetingThis month we received the fourth flower for our basket band.<br />
Here is a brief recap of our basket band project:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We started with a small row of bargello (also called Florentine or flame) stitch motifs. This is stitched with pearl cotton. Bargello is a counted stitch so it must be done on some type of "countable" fabric. Georgette chose hardanger fabric for this project.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The next month we added the first of our four flower designs, this one done in blackwork stitched with cotton floss and metallic cord. This is another counted stitch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaeOuB_ZAWiWqzuxYMUr8j4dE8RVlwjNrq2rr5WAnmtDMmQQ7v9jmYhJ0kn2gkaEg_gqkCqx1eR6rWOkkBbhlGzo4cB_E0vWwoceW3FQQ7BXf5zX6GDr1CymWKVnhDLcnmqGTT2AhvtZP/s1600/DSC_0181.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaeOuB_ZAWiWqzuxYMUr8j4dE8RVlwjNrq2rr5WAnmtDMmQQ7v9jmYhJ0kn2gkaEg_gqkCqx1eR6rWOkkBbhlGzo4cB_E0vWwoceW3FQQ7BXf5zX6GDr1CymWKVnhDLcnmqGTT2AhvtZP/s320/DSC_0181.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We also stitched our initials using the crewel technique and embellished them. Crewel is always stitched with wool threads. It is a surface embroidery technique that is not counted and is traditionally done on a heavier fabric like a twill made from linen or wool.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7Eg1gStxqqK8rtlhaosF8_Hlk0p210XdelP1R4PgLpbxpETSdv99UmFMEHk30aj3s2VaoncKF3ExNV4il6Hn4EgSaia4KYSY3p-yhLeC574Bq54IekI9PLn8GdYrSxz95gskaeE3dmJp/s1600/DSC_0182.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7Eg1gStxqqK8rtlhaosF8_Hlk0p210XdelP1R4PgLpbxpETSdv99UmFMEHk30aj3s2VaoncKF3ExNV4il6Hn4EgSaia4KYSY3p-yhLeC574Bq54IekI9PLn8GdYrSxz95gskaeE3dmJp/s320/DSC_0182.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then we added two more flowers. This one is done in the Deerfield stitch. It uses similar stitches to colonial stitching but is done with embroidery floss instead of wool. It is traditionally done in indigo shades. This is a surface embroidery stitch that also is not counted.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi66S2125fnkYKgmbCEKwaZbS33bPnygNyhe_dkknzm-PDnnPOuQsbSZi__ITiY9obiIw_VtCwMuAfPlOydLW41E0HXiqH_I8w-GY3zhJ_m__skWQhWf_mRGV2OewOVJzl_Vyy9vkGbBfJV/s1600/DSC_0184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi66S2125fnkYKgmbCEKwaZbS33bPnygNyhe_dkknzm-PDnnPOuQsbSZi__ITiY9obiIw_VtCwMuAfPlOydLW41E0HXiqH_I8w-GY3zhJ_m__skWQhWf_mRGV2OewOVJzl_Vyy9vkGbBfJV/s320/DSC_0184.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then we had a crewel flower stitched using wool thread.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So this is what the basket band looked like going into our March meeting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Georgette designed the fourth flower done in pulled stitch. It uses the traditional white-on-white (or in our case cream-on-cream) color so that you see the effect of the stitches more than the stitches themselves. There is sometimes confusion about pulled versus drawn thread techniques. Pulled thread techniques form a lacy look by pulling firmly on the stitching thread to distort the fabric to form holes. Different stitches create different hole patterns. No thread is removed from the fabric. Drawn thread, on the other hand, actually removes thread from the fabric to create the designs. Both pulled and drawn thread techniques are counted stitches. My camera was not working well so I will edit this post after I get some pictures.<br />
<br />
I am sad to report that our stitch-ins, also called stitch-and-chats, will no longer be held at Ginger's Quilt Shop as the shop is closing.We will meet instead at the new Hobby Lobby classroom in Upland on Wednesday, March 6 from 9:30 - 2:00. We hope this new stitching spot works out where it's easier to meet new friends. As soon as we have a firm schedule we will post it. In the meantime, stop by the Upland Hobby Lobby and tell Meribel "Baldy View says thanks for the room." <br />
<br />
Don't forget that Helen is donating baskets to the first 12 people to have the basket band stitching completed by our April meeting, so get stitching! Georgette will discuss finishing the edge of the band at our next meeting. We'll see you the USBank building at Euclid and "D" Streets in Ontario on April 24 at 7:00.

Our Vice-President of Programs Georgette handed out gifts to the members of a little ornament kit, an adorable little evergreen tree made from upside-down hearts. Georgette included a kit to finish the ornament too.<br />

For our October meeting, our program was Georgette B.s presentation of the next part of the basket band in our Garden of Delights in a Basket. This is what we've done so far:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ppo4PihZuIXYRNpbhr2f1ucFOf5kvuiKekGirkqdTNFH4iCL191U178wu2z8UobMKSRFJ33Mq3TnBLO9GWnhvVQ7yxCLBVkyW8Fl-3Yw1ZKExQXSQXc-ueshh7lPvofrmNPJp4jVqFOP/s1600/DSC_0185.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ppo4PihZuIXYRNpbhr2f1ucFOf5kvuiKekGirkqdTNFH4iCL191U178wu2z8UobMKSRFJ33Mq3TnBLO9GWnhvVQ7yxCLBVkyW8Fl-3Yw1ZKExQXSQXc-ueshh7lPvofrmNPJp4jVqFOP/s320/DSC_0185.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We began the band with the bargello stitch, also known as the florentine stitch or flame stitch. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ-uOoAcy7LPOIZdi7oVS3IkJFZGLj3XOtAdWaFsaxe7JFa-YZI107F_tZ4d8TR_bxiCizKXESGHgdf9j3QzzqdcGbjRq1OkAidDX_sF5vQWb6ptBXyOZbdmQZD0zLI3fnlNd3Fdl4UCm1/s1600/DSC_0181.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ-uOoAcy7LPOIZdi7oVS3IkJFZGLj3XOtAdWaFsaxe7JFa-YZI107F_tZ4d8TR_bxiCizKXESGHgdf9j3QzzqdcGbjRq1OkAidDX_sF5vQWb6ptBXyOZbdmQZD0zLI3fnlNd3Fdl4UCm1/s320/DSC_0181.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
That same meeting, we had a choice of putting our initials on the band. Several members used Judy Jeroy's crewel initials from the "Personally Yours" article in the March 2010 Needle Arts magazine. Ruth P. had a really good time embellishing her initials. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The next month, we had more crewel with our first flower. Georgette showed us all how to transfer the design onto our fabric. This flower used pink buttonhole stitch on the outside of the flower, purple chain stitch to separate the "petals," and long-arm french knots in salmon for the center.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZmmlh1XrPshmkSegR0j-5S9T8-XJxwLO1PQ-Kj5722C9-pWufvIAAgoVXX5HMvgQ_Z84pKc6xP-uGlEVRC8nNj9_HIJLjXV3UB_QJspFsUsymW2lB3824tPh6mEE3feUl702ECqTCGts6/s1600/DSC_0183.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZmmlh1XrPshmkSegR0j-5S9T8-XJxwLO1PQ-Kj5722C9-pWufvIAAgoVXX5HMvgQ_Z84pKc6xP-uGlEVRC8nNj9_HIJLjXV3UB_QJspFsUsymW2lB3824tPh6mEE3feUl702ECqTCGts6/s320/DSC_0183.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
At our October meeting Georgette presented two flowers, The first was blackwork with gold accents. This mirrors our <a href="http://baldyviewega.blogspot.com/search/label/blackwork" target="_blank">blackwork box lid</a> we did earlier in this series.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The second item was Deerfield embroidery. As usual, Georgette gave us a brief background on the stitch technique we were about to learn. Based on colonial crewel techniques, Deerfield embroidery was an embroidery technique popular in the early 20th century. It was known for it's different blue shades of indigo-dyed thread. That edge is new england laid stitch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87T9wAkzzNbGFnMFm57ybIkuHia_sL1Iu2b7f7MOfU68xDFmNvpj9aeOzZLGWGau6_3qYU-YGxr2VgpIGPr83ExMiiYrUcmN0Vszhy3r5ywTbwZUhksoFaieOlXWnVw2ztyFyn01-6pbU/s1600/DSC_0187.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87T9wAkzzNbGFnMFm57ybIkuHia_sL1Iu2b7f7MOfU68xDFmNvpj9aeOzZLGWGau6_3qYU-YGxr2VgpIGPr83ExMiiYrUcmN0Vszhy3r5ywTbwZUhksoFaieOlXWnVw2ztyFyn01-6pbU/s320/DSC_0187.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Georgette also showed us how to get those spike stitches at a consistent angle. She used what she calls a "one over one" technique. You hold a little piece of appropriately-scaled graph paper against the base of the stitch to establish the correct angle for the next stitch. The same technique is used to get the squares in the laid stitches in the center lattice. <br />
<br />
<br />
We have one more flower to go and then we attach the band to our baskets. Georgette is designing that last part and will present it within the first few months of 2013. We invite you to our next meeting which is our special holiday event on December 5 at 7:00. We will be having our annual "elf" dinner and party. Please come! We meet at the US Bank building in the community room at the rear by the parking lot. The door opens at 6:30.<br />
<br />
Our 2013 meetings will be as follows: January 16, February 20, March 20, April 17, May 15, June 19, August 21, September 18, October 16, and December 4.

At the top of the diagram is the bargello section from July. This
month was crewel stitching. We are adding our initials (seen upside down
on the bottom of the diagram) and stitching the flower on the upper
left in crewel also. Each of the remaining three flowers will be
stitched using a different technique.<br />
<br />
<br />

Mary P. had the basting and the bargello completed. Georgette has planned the band to have several different techniques so that we can try a new stitch and decide if we like it without committing to a large project.<br />
<br />
We also discussed how to adjust the band design to fit different size baskets.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of our members also brought in some show and tell. I forgot my good camera and had to use my phone camera so please excuse the picture quality.<br />

She decided on
the theme and colors and stitched the top band. Friends took turns
completing the additional bands. Her theme was "stitching!"<br />
<br />
The left is also Darlene's work. This is a ribbon embroidery tree from the ANG magazine done by her at Sunkissed ANG in LaVerne and framed by Kerry Ince at <a href="http://www.weoftheneedle.com/" target="_blank">We, Of The Needle</a> in Brea.<br />
<br />
Our next meeting will be October 17 at 7:00 PM. We meet at the US Bank building at 333 North Euclid Avenue, Ontario, CA 91762 in the community room by the rear parking lot. The door opens about 6:30. Any one interested in needlework is welcome. This will be our last regular meeting of the year as we do not have a November meeting and our December meeting/holiday party will be December 5.<br />

Denise M. was working on a doodle cloth for a mitered corner technique she's learning through her whitework group. She was at the early basting stage and I guess my camera was bored and didn't bother to get the picture! Sorry Denise. It'll be beautiful when it's done. For more on Denise's whitework, just go back to the last post. <br />
<br />
It's so much fun seeing everyone's projects and different techniques. We'd love to see your work too. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Ginger's Quilt Shop in Upland, California from 10-2. Our next stitch-in will be September 26. Again, thank you to Ginger for allowing us to meet at her shop.<br />

Our member Denise M. made this beautiful wedding gift. Denise found this Joan Elliot chart as a freebie in a package of Charles Craft "Stardust" fabric. But it's not simply a lovely framed piece:<br />

It's a box! Denise went to a frame shop in Montclair, California called "The Artisans" and had a custom box made. We were all quite impressed by the box AND the extra item in the box.<br />

That is a whitework bag for the wedding jewelry. Denise joined the whitework group that is affiliated with the Orange County EGA chapter and has been working on the bag for some time. The design is "Ukrainian Legacy" by June and Gail Adams. What a wonderful gift. Thank you, Denise, for sharing this with us.<br />

Since we're talking gifts, when Baldy View helped host the Pacific Southwest Region meeting in April we gave each attendee what we call an "Ort Port." A goo-glee-eyed frog in a pocket was put on the front of a felt "book." Inside is a section of flannel. Your little bits of leftover thread or "orts" stick to the flannel. The felt helps it stay on your sofa arm without slipping.<br />

Here it is in action on a plane. It fits into a 4" x 6" photo box along with a pair of scissors and a small project and goes easily into your purse. When it's time to clean up it's easy to close your Ort Port with your loose threads stuck to the flannel and slip it back into your purse. <br />
<br />

Here is our wonderful Vice President of Programs, Georgette B., introducing the project. Helen I. has several of these baskets in her stash and is making them available for our members. The basket idea was to let our members try various techniques on small inexpensive projects so our band will also include several techniques. This month is a Bargello or Florentine stitch project.<br />

Georgette stitched up the first part as a model. Check out the instructions! As she is designing or adapting these projects for us, Georgette usually has to do each one twice - once to figure out how to make it work and once more to figure out how to write the instructions. <br />

She showed us her "waste cloth" for the project that she used to get the correct size. She talked about Florentine stitch and how with a change in the "step" the design can be altered.<br />

Georgette also brought in some materials from the Florentine study box available from Pacific Southwest Region. These are truly awesome resources for several techniques made up over the years and available to our local chapters.

And here are a few more items that we've made for our Garden! This spool pincushion was the chapter's gift to our members at the December 2011 meeting. A wool felt pincushion sits on a spool that we decorated with a simple cross stitch design.The cross stitch was attached just by using a tiny strip of iron-on adhesive. Very clever, Georgette! The tassel was our chapter gift for December 2010.<br />

Here is another item in our basket. Georgette adapted a design for a needle roll. Every item in our basket was to be not only a different technique but able to be finished without using a sewing machine. The top roll was stitched by our member Darlene V. and the bottom one stitched by Georgette. The front of each looks similar to the other. How about the backs?<br />

Darlene embellished her seam by adding more stitching and buttons. Georgette personalized her roll before she finished it.<br />

From adding buttons and beads to changing out colors, Darlene has personalized a number of projects. See her spool pincushion on the back right? There is her tassel with extra beads on top. She also added red to her blackwork mint tin both in the stitching and on the trim. We look forward to seeing what new ideas Darlene comes up with for each project.<br />

For the last few months, we've been working on a series of projects
our program chairman Georgette B. is calling a "Garden of Delights in a
Basket." Georgette has been coming up with little needlework tool
projects that we can put into a basket by our workspace. In May we began
a Margaret Bendig-designed project called "Lacy Canvas Scissors Case."
This is a Petite Project from EGA. We are stitching this on grey canvas
with white threads. June's program will be about finishing this. The
original design is finished into a closed scissor pocket but Georgette
is giving us the option of lengthening the design and making a case that
opens flat.<br />
<br />
Come out and join us for our next meeting
on June 20. We meet in the Community Room of the USBank building at
Euclid and "D" Streets in Ontario, California. The doors open about 6:30
PM and the meeting starts at 7:00. Park behind the bank, walk to the
back door, and you'll see our meeting room on the right. Everyone is
welcome.<br />
<br />
Also we'd love every stitcher around to join
us at our monthly stitch-in on Wednesday, May 23 from 10 AM to 2 PM at
Gingers Quilt Shop in Upland. The shop is located at 1120 Dewey Way # B,
Upland, CA 91786, phone number 909-920-3099. To get there, get off the
10 freeway at Mountain Avenue in Upland, go north (toward the
mountains), turn left at Foothill. From the 210 freeway, get off at
Mountain, turn south (away from the mountains)and turn right at
Foothill. Once you're on Foothill, drive about 1 1/2 miles to the signal
at Dewey. Turn right and there's the shop! Thank you, Ginger, for
letting us meet there. We meet every 4th Wednesday through the year so
mark your calendars. No, you don't have to be a member of our chapter or
of any guild for this open stitch time, just bring your project and
have some fun with other people who share your love of needlework.<br />

For our Garden of Delights in a Basket, Georgette B. designed a blackwork mint tin piece. Our kit included harganger fabric and black and gold floss. She showed us how to mount it to the lid and we finished it off with two kinds of black ribbon. It was a fast way to try out blackwork.Baldy View EGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10544627792216673440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448877735173103442.post-17336850567618150462012-07-08T16:33:00.001-07:002012-07-11T15:43:28.013-07:00June Meeting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We started the "Lacy Canvas Scissor Case" by Margaret Bendig in May. We have a canvas project for our Garden of Delights in a Basket! Georgette B. and Helen I., our program chairman and president respectively, supplied us with platinum canvas and white pearl cotton for the project. Here is Lydia's work all stitched up. We have one side,<br />

and we have the other. The stitching was fun and easy to do. We had the option of adding an extra set of slanted satin in the middle to make the piece a little deeper.<br />

Here is the whole piece. Lydia opted to stitch it as charted. <br />

And here are the finished pieces! The two on the left were stitched by Georgette and Helen. They added beads and stitched it on green canvas.<br />
<br />
The blue piece is by Denise M. She stitched it on blue canvas.<br />
<br />
Margaret originally designed the piece to be a closed sleeve to slip your scissors in and fasten them in place with a ribbon. By adding those extra rows, it was easier to adapt the piece into a needle book.Baldy View EGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10544627792216673440noreply@blogger.com0
