Naversom Darning
“Swedish Naversom” – Thursday and Friday, May 13 & 14, 2010
Swedish Naversom, a technique also called “Birch Bark Weaving”, takes its name from the frame originally used to support the work. The lacy appearance and geometric nature of the designs will remind many embroiderers of Hardanger, but Naversom is created in a distinctly different manner. This technique appeals not only to those that appreciate pulled thread work, but also to canvas workers (because the design is worked on a grid of threads.) Kit cost: non-silk $50.00 silk $65.00
Schwalm Small Tray
"Techniques of German Schwalm" – May 16 & 17, 2010
This design uses a variety of stitches and techniques typical of Schwalm work. The basic design provides a framework for the student to develop their unique project. Alternative stitches and open weaving patterns will be provided the instructor will provide an extensive sample notebook to aid in the selection of the design elements. If desired, the model may be duplicated from the instructions provided. The 8” X 8” project can be finished in a number of ways, including a picture or pillow top. Kit costs: $50.00

Swiss Sampler
The last meeting prior to submitting the Swiss Samplers for evaluation was held on January 13 at the home of Patti Andrews. We would like to thank Patti and Gail Dursher for opening their homes for the meetings, and also for giving us guidance through the classes. We have received approval of our request to extend the submission date by one month to March 15. You may deliver your piece to Phyllis Olson at any time before that date. Be sure to attach a note with your name, address, and chapter name, as well as any questions you have or comments you want to make about the piece or any changes you made. These samplers will be mailed by rolling them individually around cardboard tubes, so if you have a tube from wrapping paper, etc., please use that to prevent wrinkling the fabric.
Crazy Patch Adventure
Detailed descriptions and photographs are available in the Education Supplement.
Follow the links in the lower left sidebar to the Correspondence Course section of the EGA web site.
Contact Phyllis Olson for additional information about correspondence courses from EGA.
The Crazy Patch Adventurers will meet at home of Janet King at 1:00 p.m. on the first and last Sundays of February--the 7th and 28th. Thanks, Jan, for hosting these meetings, and thanks, too, for Nancy Sutherland who hosted two meetings in January.
Lori Barton and Sherri Parson have volunteered to be co-leaders, and they already have some ideas. Please call to let Phyllis (396-0067) know if you plan to attend.
