finishing method.
Student makes decisions for stitch and color placement to create their own pendant/pin.

Gay Phillips Workshop
Saturday and Sunday
Marriott Courtyard Hotel

Portsmouth, NH
Please join us for a fun-filled 2-day bead embroidery workshop with Mary Alice Sinton!!
EGA has been the beneficiary of a sizable bequest from the estate of
Gay Phillips, a deceased member. Each Region has received a grant from these monies.
NER is using these funds to pay all the teaching, travel, and classroom rent costs for this two-day
workshop. The student’s only expenses are the kit and lunch fee.
We have chosen Paisley On Parade, a lovely beaded box top, for the class project. The
Paisley On Parade satin oval jewelry box is done in the Japanese bead embroidery method and is
an advanced beginner level piece. Bead Embroidery in the Japanese method incorporates silk
embroidery techniques translated with beads rather than silk threads. Paisley On Parade
will add pizazz to any vanity and serve as a home for a variety of treasures. During this
entry-level course, the student will embroider Paisley On Parade in a two-day workshop.
The beads used are a wide variety of glass seed beads. The foundation fabric is a floral 100% cotton
fabric called Chocolat by Moda.
Complete registration information, including fees and deadlines will be available soon.
