I forgot to attach the triad color scheme from a piece I am currently working on. Here it is.

I just finished Lesson 2. Here are my warm and cool shadings. I tried shadows on the cool example, but was not happy with them and decided to forgo shadows on the others. The bright and dull examples are also attached. Mixing the colors was interesting, and a little frustrating when I ran out and had to remix. Watercolors (or any painting medium,…[Read more]

EGA Discussion Group 6 years agoDear Friends, this is my first time as president. I\’m interested in anyone\’s President Challenge that were successful and interesting to their members. Just a short description and what deadline was give would be helpful.
Thank you and may we all keep stitching, Susan Baldassano-
We have had good participation with challenges of a “pincushion”, and one of “any project that included a doll”. We usually announce our challenge in January with a deadline of November.
-
Thank you, Marian. That helps knowing your deadline and types of challenges.
May we both keep stitching, Susan

Thank you for the extra recommendations for laundering products. Marion Scoular also recommended years ago that if you can\’t find the Ivory Flakes, make your own by shredding a bar of Ivory Soap. It goes a long way!

I see that there\’s a $1500 life membership option. Does that cover all dues for my Region and chapter or would I still need to pay those every year?

I think I missed something, but not sure. The Pebble Filling Stitch is worked starting 8 threads above, and 12 threads to the left, of the top corner Diamond Eye. As I stitched the stated 6 stitches beyond the right corner Diamond Eye, I am wondering why the North and South spaces are 6 threads beyond the Diamond Eyes and the East and West…[Read more]

Where can I log on to share my embroidery works? The Stitch Along is only for those doing the stitch along projects. There is not a site to share non stitch along projects.

EGA Discussion Group 6 years, 1 month agoHello! I’m still pretty new, so I don’t know if this is the place to ask such questions, but I’ll go ahead! For the most part, I am switching over to scroll frames since some of my work is larger than standard hoops and also to avoid hoop marks. That said, I have a piece that I’ve worked on with a hoop. I can’t get rid of the hoop marks now.…[Read more]

There is a product called Amodex, available at Lowes, that will take out just about any stain. If you can get the stained circle wet without harming the design, apply the Amodex and rub in just a bit. A little goes a long way. Let sit (follow instructions on package). Carefully rinse off the area away from the design, and let dry. You may have…[Read more]

Lori Anne: Another way to minimize the risk of your wooden hoops marking your fabric is to bind the hoop – go to Mary Corbet’s article of 30 July 2009 (https://www.needlenthread.com/2009/07/tutorial-binding-embroidery-hoop.html) for her excellent, detailed, and illustrated “Tutorial: Binding an Embroidery Hoop.” Janet
-
Thank you! This is good information to know. I realize I should have been more clear in my question. It’s not a stain I am dealing with, but the remaining “indents” from the hoops! No matter how much a iron, they keep popping back out. Like a permanent hoop wrinkle. 🙂
-
Hi Janet, Thank you! I think I should be calling it a hoop wrinkle instead of a mark! It’s actually not a stain, but the raised area from the hoop that keeps coming back. I will check out Corbet’s article. I love her site. Maybe that will work. I iron, but it seems to pop right back. Maybe taking it to be professionally steamed/dry cleaned would work.
-
Lori I use a product by Clover called a Fabric Folding Pen, it works well on all types of fabric and is easy to use. I first used it to remove the fold lines of fabric I had store for more then 10 years and I have used it many times to remove those pesky hoop wrinkles. I hope this helps you.
-
Hey there! I’m just now seeing this: thank you for this tip! I did discover that if I allowed the fabric to completely cool after ironing before I touched it, that helped. So iron flat, walk away, make tea, and then and only then, even think about moving the fabric! 🙂 I’ll check out the clover pen as well.

Thank you, Eileen, for the lovely design. To those of you who have decided that I am computer-illiterate — I admit to my oversight. When downloading the lessons, I neglected to pay attention to the smaller boxes and print above the lessons. Thanks again Eileen.

Here is my exercise #2. The colors I like are the top picture, colors I don’t like are the bottom picture. I must admit, though, that I also like the bottom picture.
