Hi Lisa. I was told by my teacher that the silk bought from the Japanese Embroidery Center (JEC) is specially tightly woven to be able to stand up to embroidery. The pieces with a lot of goldwork in the design are even heavier to tolerate the weig...
Hi everyone. I hope you are all getting ready for your class at Hawkwood College. I remember how excited I was to be going to Atlanta for that class. So, I am sure you are all feeling the same. Before I went to my phase X class, I checked my suppl...

- Hi Nancy, thank for the tip about these angles. Some of my stitching colleagues use them and find them very useful, but I just can't seem to get on with them. The angles worked ok in the end so all is not lost.
Thanks for the tip anyway.

- Hi Nancy, just been catching up on some JE posts. Wondered if you had any specific motifs in mind for the JE blog. There are so many to choose from.

Stefania Bressan said… - We are really weaving a web across the world! Erma is also friend of another canadian lady, Jeanine, who lives near Vancouver. I met Jeanine several years ago on the newsgroup rec.craft.textiles.needlework and I met her in person two years ago in Italy, at the Internationa Forum of Lace and Embroidery. She will be again here in two weeks, and I'm eager to meet her again :-)
About Japanese embroidery: I know there's a teacher in Lion - France, but it is too far for me... I can't leave the kids for many days, so it is not an option for me, at least for more several years. But I'm patient ;-)
Ciao, Stefania

- Nancy, thank you for your visit and your kind words.
Your camellias are wonderful... I drool over japanese embroidery, but there are no teachers near where I live... I have a book about the basic technique, and perhaps I will give it a try, one day or another... (I'll have to find where to buy the silk online, before!)
I have two friends in Montreal, Erma and Fiore, who will come in Italy for an embroidery course, on next June. If I remember correctly, they should teach. I know that Montreal is not a little town, but maybe you know them... it would be funny :-)
Ciao, Stefania

Meg Berg said… - Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your comment and all the great info. Where abouts in
Canada are you? My son is a missionary currently living in Hochelaga West. He is Mormon and is on a mission for his church. I hear it's beautiful there. It's not so pretty here in Las Vegas, though I keep trying with my gardening and embroidery. If nothing else I can try and pretty up my little corner of the world! Meg :-)
