Trillium Embroidery Guild March 2019

Last night at guild, Jeanette conducted a workshop on embroidering miniatures. She provided everything we needed: blanks for the stitching, wool background, threads, etc.

My creation was cited in the previous blog post.

There were several items for 'show and share':

Alda's granddaughter stitched this for an arts competition at her school. A little help was given for the 2 French knots for the eyes and the smile. She won first prize.

Jeanette brought in this two-sided, five-layer, framed piece with stiffened felt background.

It was a project from a workshop she took at an embroidery seminar in New Mexico.

Alda brought in her beautiful floral piece on 22 ct fabric. She had a little help stitching the last little bit on one corner. It is framed in one of her collected antique frames.

Marion brought in many of her wool felt appliqué pieces:

Two tray liners and their trays,

a bird and basket pillow,

a big autumnal pillow,

and a little ,night-time house pillow.

I brought in my array of needle minders.

Our next meeting has a 'surprise' program.
