    OK John. Let’s try again. I have broken down the one photo into six. My apologies, since it is raining heavily today in NJ, the colors don’t come across as bright as they might. I can assure you they are cheery colors. One photo is just of the overdyes next to each other. One photo is of the solids. On the picture of the solids, there is a…[Read more]

    Here is a photo of my colour selection. As I mentioned previously the gray is the outline.
    I would like to work from palest to dark going from top to bottom.
    Your feedback is welcome.

      Me, too! In this day of Zoom why not a Zoom GCC? In fact, our chapter’s last GCC did not meet in person after about 5 months, and that was before COVID. It is also true I am the only one to finish and send for evaluation so far….
      How could we gauge interest and get more interested people?

      Ladies, I am a member of the Washington DC Chapter and live in Northern Virginia. Where are you all located? The one issue I can picture (from my 1 GCC) is that the systems relies on having a Class Coordinator to receive Course Materials, send in finished projects, and generally organize Stuff.
      I can picture this happening in a Virtual Group.…[Read more]

For 1 class I mailed my final piece myself rather than sending to the chapter, for the other one there were 4 of us in the metro area, so we sent the pieces together to the chapter to be…[Read more]

      Hey. you all might want to suggest that EGA have this course as a Lightning Round–that would help you all out! I have to do Stash Busting, too, but it’s going to take me a LLLLLOOOOONG time–I have 40 years worth of accumulation…sigh.

    John I have looked at my colours again in light of you saying that some of the colours are to close to each other and may not be distinguishable. I would not use these in the actual needle point side by side. I have also chosen my glittery threads. I have measured out my canvas and found the centre.

    The scan of the design did not quite measure…[Read more]

    I rethought my colors and here they are. Even though some of the silks are close to the floss colors, I think the sheen difference will make them work.

    This is the first of twenty pieces I’m doing for a stumpwork double casket. (The four seasons double casket by Tricia Wilson Nguyen of Thistle Threads.) This will end up on the inside of the right-hand door.

    Next up: a similar flower basket design for the inside of the left door. Like this one it will be done mostly in silk-wrapped…[Read more]

      This is beautiful, Tim. On the INSIDE of the door???? Really!?!?!? Hard to hide something like this. Keep posting your progress— most of us are envious!

    • Profile picture of Tim Buchheim
      Tim Buchheim replied 4 years, 3 months ago

      Well, something had to go on the inside. There are another 18 panels on the outside. Those will be needlelace and other common stumpwork techniques. I think Tricia decided to put the silk-wrapped purl designs on the inside to help protect them; if the purls are snagged they can easily be bent out of shape.

      Here’s the link to the course page on…[Read more]
