CALL FOR DISPLAY PIECES
CRVC has been invited to the Granby Public Library in November for our fourth display
there. This one is titled "We're Back! Recent Pieces from the Embroiderers' Guild."
The focus is on any pieces you've finished since March 2020. They can be any
technique, any style, big (not TOO big), small, intricate, simple. They can be
from our Zoom workshops, or from your old stash of kits and unfinished projects that
you finally pulled out and polished off, or original pieces. The only criterion
is that you finished them since the first pandemic lockdown.
We'll collect the pieces in October, and get them back home in December. Most
pieces will be displayed inside locked cases, so even the smallest ornaments will be
secure. For each piece, please provide the title, designer (if known), your name,
and any brief comments you want to make about it (i.e. "I started this at a Region Day
15 years ago!"). You may loan us up to three pieces (five if they're
small).
If you've never participated in a display with us before, please consider joining us
in this one! Contact Kathryn Lord at hglord@cox.net
for information about having your pieces picked up and returned.

Christmas Tree Ornament

This ornament was designed by Mary Waldsmith, and the instructions begin on page 28.

green canvas will be mailed in September to class participants, and the threads will be
provided by you from your stash.

"Tidal Treasures"
Tidal Treasures: Some of my fondest memories are of walking along the
beach picking up sea shells. As the waves gently roll in, I search the sandy beach
to see what treasure I might discover. Each shell is a mystery, a question of what
sea creature once inhabited it. In this class, you will create your own tidal
treasures: a starfish needle minder, a sea urchin pin cushion and scallop needle book.
Kit includes instructions, silk shantung, silk dupioni, Weeks Dye Works stranded cotton threads,
Mill Hill Antique Glass Beads, Ultrasuede, finishing materials and needles. Students to provide
4" and 6" embroidery hoops, 10" x 10" Evertite frame or stretcher bars with brass tacks and tightening
tool, 6" ruler, white tissue paper, tweezers, masking tape, scissors for cutting paper and felt,
mechanical pencil or similar, straight pins, cream colored sewing thread, needle threader, and usual
stitching supplies. Magnification and lighting is highly recommended.
Skill Level: Advanced
A registration coupon is provided for this meeting.
