Anne Gomes replied to Amanda Hall's discussion Duck Cloth"Duck is washable, but it shrinks. I've used it for a cover for my 4 X 6 ironing/sewing table. It also makes very good inner lining when you want to keep shape or body, but it wrinkles."
Profile Information
- What textiles are you interested in?
- Japanese Embroidery Phase IX almost done, then on to Kusadama in green with a couple other projects in the works. Still doing smocked and heirloom dresses for my 2 yo granddaughter.
Would like to improve my whitework, goldwork and ecclesiastical skills as well.
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- US, first from my grandmother, then mother. Then, I learned counted thread through some very good shops. When I saw ecclesiastical embroidery at our parish, I always wanted to learn and Japanese embroidery is an end in itself and a step on the way to beautiful ecclesiatical work.
I've studied in Atlanta with the Center, with Karen Plater, Audrey Francini and Carl Newman.
- Is there anything else you'd like other members of Stitchin' Fingers to know about you? Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself by way of introduction.
- Looking forward to finishing Ph IX and the other pieces I have on frames and another icon.
I still have a Christmas stocking for the new grand to make, this one on linen of roses, using both Japanese and western techniques.

Atlanta trips
Posted on July 25, 2008 at 20:14 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hey, Y'all, There are a couple of hotels near to the center that most people stay in. I think they have microwaves, frig, etc, are close by and you can get lunch. When you go to the Center you should take your lunch. You can heat food in the microwave there.
For all the UK ladies, the exchange rate is very favorable, it is cheaper to fly to Atl than to Rome from London and there is one of my favorite malls close to where the center is. Worth the trip:)
If you need any tips, please… Continue

Clean needles
Posted on July 25, 2008 at 12:50 1 Comment 0 Likes
Hey, Y'all, At the Center in Atlanta, they have us clean needles using the very finest sandpaper. I keep a 5cm x 5cm square folded in my needle box. You hold the needle by the eye, put it into the folded square, pull through, rotating so that all 4 sides get cleaned. It works really well and keeps them sharp, too. I have the same needles from when I started Japanese embroidery 6 years ago!

Jeanne Chandler said… - Hi Anne,
Glad to be your friend! I'm heading off to Baltimore tonight -- my husband is having back surgery tomorrow morning at Johns Hopkins, so I'll be up there for 5 days. I'm staying with oldest son and family in Columbia, so will take my "fuzzies" to work on there - can't fall behind!

Carol-Anne said… - The course is a Joggles on-line class by Sharon Bloggon. It is called Sumptuous Surfaces. It is very different from JE, I'm not sure that I will be any good at it!

- Thanks for responding to my question Anne,
I won't be able to do any more stitching today, it is already dark here :(
I don't mind winter except for the very short days and long hours of darkness.
No, I haven't done any RSN classes, although I have consisdered them. Having enjoyed Karahana so much I am really tempted the goldwork class, but I already don't have as much time for JE as I would like. That's the problem, so many lovely things to do, not enough time (or money) to do them :(
I loved your katayori lambs wool and hope to try something like it. I'm doing an online couse called Sumptuous Surfaces soon, perhaps I will use it on that.

- Thank you so much for sharing this Anne, I think the sheep's wool is wonderful.
Did you use the 10 stands of flat silk for the undertwist and add in the 2 eterna strands for the overtwist? I better the thread looks fabulous even before you stitch with it. I'm not sure what you mean by rococo, I'm guessing it is a type of thread, but I can picture what you mean about the couching and fluffing up the loops. You have been very inventive and it looks great, well done.
By the way, your other post is in the main forum, not the JE group so I'll add a comment to explain what a Katayori and tekobari are, hope that is ok.
Once again, great job on the icon, it really is eye catching and beautifully stitched.
