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

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.
