Does anyone on this list know what’s going on with the next Through the Needle’s Eye exhibit? Students in the Strut Your Stuff class want to know the submission deadline.
-
The executive committee is discussing the format of the next TNE. As soon as the details are ready, we will get back to you on the deadline question. Sorry for the delay…

Marnie, thanks so much.

Hi. I just want to chime in here as a member of Starlight Stitchers, who hosted the TNE exhibit last year. It was an amazing experience for us, to see such incredible works up close and personal. We do see great examples at the State Fair, for instance, but embroidery exhibits are few and far between, at least in our neck of the woods. The TNE…[Read more]

I love hearing stories like this Helene! Thanks for sharing.

There will be a 22nd Through the Needle’s Eye Exhibit that will debut in 2021. Lots of details to work out still.

Celeste, do you hear the rounds of applause coming from this direction? Woooo! So, here’s some stitching motivation for all the talented folks in this class. Thank you for all you are doing as Director of Education, Celeste! It is much appreciated.

When is the national Gold Thread Winner announced, the opening or the closing banquet of national seminar?

Hi Vera, last year it was during the opening banquet, and that’s how I see it in the National Seminar Guidelines. Maybe @celeste-chalasani can provide a more specific answer.
-
Yes, the national Gold Thread Winner is announced at opening banquet at national seminar.

Is there a discussion group for the Elephant Lightening Round?
-
Hi Kathy,
That was our previous round. You can see the current GCC Lightning Rounds here: https://egausa.org/product-category/courses/lightning-round/
-
I’m sorry, I just re-read your question and realized I answered too fast and not what you asked, since you are already registered. At the moment we don’t have Discussion groups for lightning rounds.

I brought this up at our Region board meeting in June and decided to throw it out here on the main discussion group. I would love to see a photo on each person’s profile. I don’t know about the rest of you but I need to be able to put faces with names. One RD suggested that we turn a meeting program into a photo taking session for our EGA…[Read more]

Does anyone know what type of frame this is? I have googled brooch embroidery/needlepoint frame and I find people selling a finished product like the picture or plain wooden frames. I’m at a loss on what else this frame could be called or where to buy them.
The picture was taken from the etsy page themagickcat

Hi Jessica – it looks like a brooch blank that has been filled with petit-point. Probably stitched in a small count silk gauze. Mary Corbet has articles on stitching on silk gauze. It’s usually taped into small mat board for stitching, using one strand of silk or cotton floss. I didn’t see any blank jewelry settings exactly like this, but if you…[Read more]

Jessica, maybe do your search for brooch blank under “findings.”

Is there a date for announcing the 2019 Gold Thread Award Winners? How is the announcement made? Thanks, Suzanne Blom

Hi Suzanne, the announcement was just posted on this month’s newsletter. You can also read it here and share it: https://egausa.org/2019-gold-thread-award-winners/

I submitted a nomination for one of our members in the Metropolitan Region. Since there are no winners for that region, I would like to talk to someone to confirm that my submission was received. Can you suggest someone I can contact. Thanks,
-
Dear Rand, my mistake. I see that Ellen Saines got the award for our region. Well deserved. Thanks
-
Hi Suzanne, yes, we had her on the list but misspelled the region’s acronym. We caught it pretty quickly, thanks for the heads up. Have a great day!

Hello! 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.
-
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.

Hi I am new member to EGA. I placed order for Lightning Round White on White Crazy Quilt. There was a supplies list to download which noted wait for text to start project. It’s been 10 days since I ordered and wondering if these are mailed to you or should I be looking for a download of instructions. Confused …

I just participated in the EGA on-line course Glass House Fuschias with teacher Merrilyn Heazlewood. What a great way to learn from an international teacher from the comfort of home. And sharing the questions, excitement, frustration and successes of fellow students from across the country! Thanks for this wonderful online class experience.
