I had previously participated in a class with Michelle Ink at Jamboree at Salty Yarns, and I knew all about the process. </p><p>We hosted Michelle Ink Designs for a class in silver making. What? It was an introduction to silver alchemy for stitchers. The options of what to make varied from silver strawberry toppers to needle minders to jewelry. </p><p>Michelle starts the class with her history and her journey. She then walked you through the process, explaining each step the class would follow and what she, herself, will do after the class. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigSzeM4HY3STYyeG_N5dPO88OhdiMKg3_HrZ-_nnYgmPTABy8wLeG2SdEfeKvr7dqNUIgrIL7IP87FA6vaifWQBf9RfFeszShZN2cfWbYD0tMMoNa3I4_CZsfepvPL-MFdb_LfZJTUUVRLbS6Ldy0Aapr0OcUVgPsdXlUQpjc02DHpTIljpRl76BF15ZM/s4032/19179565-565C-4A35-A007-A81B5EE01ACE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigSzeM4HY3STYyeG_N5dPO88OhdiMKg3_HrZ-_nnYgmPTABy8wLeG2SdEfeKvr7dqNUIgrIL7IP87FA6vaifWQBf9RfFeszShZN2cfWbYD0tMMoNa3I4_CZsfepvPL-MFdb_LfZJTUUVRLbS6Ldy0Aapr0OcUVgPsdXlUQpjc02DHpTIljpRl76BF15ZM/w480-h640/19179565-565C-4A35-A007-A81B5EE01ACE.jpeg" width="480" /></a></p><p>Everyone received their clay in the foil package.

The clay was rolled in a ball. It was then placed in the center of the mold and pressed from the center out. This was to avoid seams or cracks and to allow the excess silver clay to be pressed off the edges. A paint brush and small amount of water was used to brush and smooth the edges. No worries. There was no waste. Any extra was removed and rolled into a smaller ball to be used with another mold. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3QQYkBpANzCPltEceBBnaBTso2LTFRXG-dS2icsnWs2S705cSHV2x41YtW_c8PBaNIUXEOP7H5FANKp26vc4IxuZfnYQcYlkFAxO1NwmBnPoK1PZOlqtue5dPZa4LBpAANCwaxLlfS3lufPOoFu1_XYoJo-HBB691cJyVoPxR-WbDoZc-PjR120nCo3I/s2608/IMG_4208%20Copy.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2246" data-original-width="2608" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3QQYkBpANzCPltEceBBnaBTso2LTFRXG-dS2icsnWs2S705cSHV2x41YtW_c8PBaNIUXEOP7H5FANKp26vc4IxuZfnYQcYlkFAxO1NwmBnPoK1PZOlqtue5dPZa4LBpAANCwaxLlfS3lufPOoFu1_XYoJo-HBB691cJyVoPxR-WbDoZc-PjR120nCo3I/w640-h552/IMG_4208%20Copy.jpeg" width="640" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tNdkhrUM3SDEeXFAt8g2I-5x741dtJ2rca9wxAouRxNUrF26uLwAocY8E0QDLPJany7-k3AGj1cluv-K1LqKByEglIeXzm3jnTMDAQV6ArftFyrpEGaYfJOXT3re410Fw-g80y-Q2gY189wRPTfkYvf7qwyBPvAhPvEjG89aCxo7Jv1XLefzezKJLYs/s4032/DCCDF5CD-CBE5-4CAF-8AF3-901C31951510.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tNdkhrUM3SDEeXFAt8g2I-5x741dtJ2rca9wxAouRxNUrF26uLwAocY8E0QDLPJany7-k3AGj1cluv-K1LqKByEglIeXzm3jnTMDAQV6ArftFyrpEGaYfJOXT3re410Fw-g80y-Q2gY189wRPTfkYvf7qwyBPvAhPvEjG89aCxo7Jv1XLefzezKJLYs/w480-h640/DCCDF5CD-CBE5-4CAF-8AF3-901C31951510.jpeg" width="480" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Lg37Hq2TV3Z66Loekg9EsNT8_ISwQhbf2xdVjAP9dYTXPjAmmGTvejsGQW6x5uUyGR7uy2FpDhEYSpkTKgQxQfLwDN6RIUU6fRWvpgis3XSMY-cobbWuEZvgUlkrc5NBCFeMlfKfopkyDC7qanhcIGQPPmlFRlXuYUH57JKUoeogWlvtulxVMI9Y3f8/s2856/IMG_4212%20Copy.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2053" data-original-width="2856" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Lg37Hq2TV3Z66Loekg9EsNT8_ISwQhbf2xdVjAP9dYTXPjAmmGTvejsGQW6x5uUyGR7uy2FpDhEYSpkTKgQxQfLwDN6RIUU6fRWvpgis3XSMY-cobbWuEZvgUlkrc5NBCFeMlfKfopkyDC7qanhcIGQPPmlFRlXuYUH57JKUoeogWlvtulxVMI9Y3f8/w640-h460/IMG_4212%20Copy.jpeg" width="640" /></a></p><p>Because the need to be fired, once each student finished with their molding, their pieces were left for Michelle to take back to her studio. Michelle painstakingly did fine tuning on each molded piece, smoothing the edges and rounding out any holes made in the piece. She then fired each piece. Polished each piece. Finally tenderly packaging each class attendees piece and delivering it directly to their home address. The follow-up process took about 6 weeks which was made clear before the class so everyone realized they would not be walking out with their pieces.</p><p>Use your imagination to see how a finished topper fits a strawberry.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzn4nfNnx2wXW9B_OfXRN1H9xRq-aL-DgMOYd_wa-oeVIy6YK9R8Kclid4vlZm5olH5gpR-TaChHVPNuMcwhgecw6dhyEBs3_gSL672BcR-w-4mStlH0QOPU-wv9C9n8t6wvuZXG4C76sgkVg_jR_tCWQvEzWHsL5PFpob8IsNVqZ6cQarq8hE59fLV1A/s2404/IMG_4210%20Copy.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1985" data-original-width="2404" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzn4nfNnx2wXW9B_OfXRN1H9xRq-aL-DgMOYd_wa-oeVIy6YK9R8Kclid4vlZm5olH5gpR-TaChHVPNuMcwhgecw6dhyEBs3_gSL672BcR-w-4mStlH0QOPU-wv9C9n8t6wvuZXG4C76sgkVg_jR_tCWQvEzWHsL5PFpob8IsNVqZ6cQarq8hE59fLV1A/w640-h528/IMG_4210%20Copy.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>Michelle can be found on Facebook at Michelle Ink Designs.</p>DVHSGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16190000850444896095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221579537328068382.post-63218367624953125572023-09-16T08:04:00.000-07:002023-11-21T06:13:24.129-08:00August 2023 Meeting<p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Our August Meeting was via Zoom only.

They organized in the United States in the 1780’s. They were first called the “Shaking Quakers” because they actually shook their arms and bodies during singing to cast off the bad thoughts and ill will. They practiced celibacy and lived in a communal, utopian society. They were pacifists and believe in the equality of the sexes. They were known for their simple lifestyle, their thirst for technological innovations, their music, they were avid gardeners saving seeds for the next season and also known for their furniture making. There is only one Shaker settlement still in existence today and since Shakers are celibate…..well, I need not say any more on that. </span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2867931326664470568" itemprop="description articleBody" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 643px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">One particular Shaker settlement is the Enfield Shakers, Enfield, New Hampshire. They owned and farmed over 3,000 acres. In Mount Lebanon, NY, they had a successful seed business. The Shakers were the first to package seeds for sale. They create innovations in marketing seeds, distributing them, packaging and cataloging which lead to lasting change in the horticultural business forever. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">They also did broom making.

Jennifer did extensive research and can determine that AW is most likely Ann Maria Wheeler. She lived in the Shaker Village for about a year. She left the Shaker Village near Albany, NY to rejoin her husband in Oswego, NY. Jennifer admitted the her’s is just speculation as far as the identity of AW. Emeline, on the other hand, has more information. She was born in 1793 and lived to be nearly 80 years old. She is buried in a Shaker Cemetery near Colonie, NY. Emeline would have had a busy life working various jobs as women played an active role in the Shaker community. Emeline served in a leadership role as an eldress of the community. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The original sampler is owned by the Western Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio. <br /><span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div>DVHSGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16190000850444896095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221579537328068382.post-55516560606540018572023-08-03T11:32:00.003-07:002023-08-03T11:34:50.629-07:00Dedication to a Founding Member<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">On the last Saturday of July 2023, several members of the DVHSG met at the Salem County Historical Society for the dedication of the Sarah Thompson, 1775 Sampler. </span></span></div><p></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl9mGulrPLl603cD6-TnM7aOU3U_vOrRb0PyJJHWuGU-Y00iqGqyroMNyu72UC2NJLGPM-ktWzjFftaqewpkIuEddtFXsSlOoVPU9hrsMxmtoSgdLf6zCVt8J12TXrn4FIIdqmP7Ejg0xlvNMi1JLvqtbhJwCqV3osGOITHIBnKqqiLuO3Lg2rPMoa8S4/s4032/IMG_2490.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl9mGulrPLl603cD6-TnM7aOU3U_vOrRb0PyJJHWuGU-Y00iqGqyroMNyu72UC2NJLGPM-ktWzjFftaqewpkIuEddtFXsSlOoVPU9hrsMxmtoSgdLf6zCVt8J12TXrn4FIIdqmP7Ejg0xlvNMi1JLvqtbhJwCqV3osGOITHIBnKqqiLuO3Lg2rPMoa8S4/w640-h480/IMG_2490.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3hvtf_cX1Mbpm8NoEFLlOv3qtXCV2Y3AuyocTFEmcCyBYytC71wy5Tc_1rl5DYdsMQIeb3Afyx4JmayPLgf_7Srm6DzY854K0F7-NpW81miEUUiFtG2PP5-MHIR8DVUe07cvCTU6_hQFH08Wo9ba2VTh8adZ5rmc5ZkgCaetEhdbwAiWujhgo-7LOWE/s3156/IMG_2491.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="3156" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3hvtf_cX1Mbpm8NoEFLlOv3qtXCV2Y3AuyocTFEmcCyBYytC71wy5Tc_1rl5DYdsMQIeb3Afyx4JmayPLgf_7Srm6DzY854K0F7-NpW81miEUUiFtG2PP5-MHIR8DVUe07cvCTU6_hQFH08Wo9ba2VTh8adZ5rmc5ZkgCaetEhdbwAiWujhgo-7LOWE/w640-h216/IMG_2491.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Conservation Committee set out to find the perfect sampler to conserve in honor of one of our founding members, Patti Hrynenko. Patti was a great asset to the south Jersey sampler world. <br /></span><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Her love of historic needlework started long before the guild. Patti had a long-term affiliation with the Gloucester County Historical Society where she dedicated her efforts to seeing that their collection of samplers did not remain in storage. She spent countless hours researching the girls who stitched these samplers and was able to tell a story about each one. She has charted several of them with the proceeds from sales benefitting the Society's Sampler Collection Designated Fund to b used for the continued preservation of samplers in their collection.The first sampler she charted was Lucy Hugg, in 1999. This same sampler would become the Guild's first stitch-along. There are six samplers available on the Gloucester County Historical Society website. Many of us enjoyed the tours she lead at the Gloucester County Historical Society. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Nine of the pieces in the Society's collection were included in the 2014-15 New Jersey Sampler exhibit at the Morven Museum, and can be seen in the exhibit catalog- "Hail Specimen of Female Art". The 1788 Sybil Tatum Quaker medallion catalog- "Hail Specimen of Female Art". The 1788 Sybil Tatum Quaker medallion sampler was included in Carol Humphrey's book, "Quaker School Girl Samplers from Ackworth".</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Patti's contributions to our Guild over the years were many, including private tours of the Gloucester County sampler collection and other textile exhibits. A favorite memory is the fabulous talk she gave when we celebrated the Guild’s 20th Anniversary in 2022 - delayed for two years because of Covid. It was full of history for the new members and fun memories for the veteran members. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzc9QGkUe4BG-Pf466D8KoaklA_fxI9TXmQ9bCEy2up8d9WUKHOpAyTXN3ltiBzp2lmDFdCE5xQPim2YkjT-mC-RsXRyYH7gNQOc8z8YZRin7MiH-cuas6gnAajGR18ehxhMjy_k_MVpjvhYxaqFjG5e00pDZBn54SG6gv9iwn7BFleaVSjizt-k6xeF8/s4032/IMG_2493.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzc9QGkUe4BG-Pf466D8KoaklA_fxI9TXmQ9bCEy2up8d9WUKHOpAyTXN3ltiBzp2lmDFdCE5xQPim2YkjT-mC-RsXRyYH7gNQOc8z8YZRin7MiH-cuas6gnAajGR18ehxhMjy_k_MVpjvhYxaqFjG5e00pDZBn54SG6gv9iwn7BFleaVSjizt-k6xeF8/w640-h480/IMG_2493.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Sarah Thompson Sampler, age 10, 1775</span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Many thanks for the Conservation Committee for their work and to Marnie B. for the wonderful tribute she made, part of which I used to create my comments above. <br /></span><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Those who attended the dedication had a chance to tour the museum while there. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tsmBWXhBc5hBCzIzTlGORtgif_SaMIPQHgcZM64F1OCZQYw27nOAPLVDnR2gzQ4nbELMIBpGrp8t5pI9hx2O-hJAvy-zLSDUfjBpGMawNY1NDn7KeFSj8ANzZOzOLyXNkrg0KvFrmK_yTUsvqnhLcTpaT0wib7SaGzPHnvNsNluttzbN2dzwaQI61fQ/s4032/IMG_2526.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tsmBWXhBc5hBCzIzTlGORtgif_SaMIPQHgcZM64F1OCZQYw27nOAPLVDnR2gzQ4nbELMIBpGrp8t5pI9hx2O-hJAvy-zLSDUfjBpGMawNY1NDn7KeFSj8ANzZOzOLyXNkrg0KvFrmK_yTUsvqnhLcTpaT0wib7SaGzPHnvNsNluttzbN2dzwaQI61fQ/w300-h400/IMG_2526.jpeg" width="300" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyp60__jyYcGEyc1Pyo82CEiYB8NrWUqc3iXdqb6-DvmG1AKYnqDiYeBTek3Uw_YoD5QMBoLm_ta2TUE9_jFudvtmgB_9Fzfo0cUVxt7Sz3TTxataQYWKnLVqQawEe17GmeInn_ccjAmls1FCwFfjx8E9SFBGgq_RHv5WpZ2x4WhBVwXlJC7b-C63TkA/s4032/IMG_2531.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyp60__jyYcGEyc1Pyo82CEiYB8NrWUqc3iXdqb6-DvmG1AKYnqDiYeBTek3Uw_YoD5QMBoLm_ta2TUE9_jFudvtmgB_9Fzfo0cUVxt7Sz3TTxataQYWKnLVqQawEe17GmeInn_ccjAmls1FCwFfjx8E9SFBGgq_RHv5WpZ2x4WhBVwXlJC7b-C63TkA/w480-h640/IMG_2531.jpeg" width="480" /></a>The museum is located in the Alexander Grant home, erected in 1721, with portions erected in 1690.

It is believed to be part of the original forest that was part of John Fenwick’s land. It measured 22 feet in circumference and stood over 100 feet tall with a span of over 104 feet. It was located in the Salem Friends Burial Ground in Salem NJ, before is just fell over one day in June of 2019.

These are samplers that were part of the studies of orphans in this Bristol Orphanages from the years 1836 when the first 30 orphans were taken in my George and his wife Mary. By 1849, they opened their first ‘house for orphans, housing as many as 400 per house. By 1870, they had constructed 4 more similar houses on the site, Ashley Down Orphanage north of Bristol, England. Over 18,000 children passed through Ashley Downs. The records at the orphanage are exceptional and if you believe you have a Bristol Sampler they will be glad to do the research to see if the stitcher lived in Ashley Down.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">At the time the Muller’s started orphans tended to go to homes for founding which we not more than workhouses and per George, entirely inadequate. Although run with Christian principals, there was no religious discrimination. The criteria was that children needed to be born in wedlock, one or both parents deceased and the child had not family capable of taking them in. Muller, from Germany, patterned his application process similar to what he observed in Germany. </span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Mullers did not solicit donations but rather felt “God will provide”. Each child was taught to read, write and learn a skill for later employment. Boys were did learn to sew but their focus was learning ‘outside’ skills. As was the fashion of the time, needlework became a girls resume of her skills. Wealthy people often sent their laundry out and needed someone skilled in stitching to mark their clothing and linens to identify them. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Bristol Samplers are most commonly stitched in red on was we presume as bed linens or 70 count fabric. They used what they had. There are green as well as multicolor samplers but the red are definitely the more common. Bristol Samplers consist of several rows of alphabets, numbers and common motifs. Bibles, crowns, birds, keys are often found on Bristol Samplers. Sets of initials and numbers stitched in the alphabet area referred to the initials of siblings and friends and the numbers refer to their bed numbers. Other than religious samplers, motifs were just for learning. Needlework was an outward display of social status and the presumption was a good needleworker would make a good wife, good housekeeper, etc. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The until colored samplers are thought to have been done by the more advanced or interested stitcher.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Many of the samplers have been charted. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span> Harriet Salt, Hands Across the Sea, original on 70, stitched with red thread (not silk)</span><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #202122; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWwubrAI57pAxtzkWVhuIHTzQ9PhzQ3jXHm24H3eq8NU6lnoncSmOng9jJdnlWZa3uC4g68aoUHIR3jfqvAOYiGE6lpE7Ws33sHHgv3eBWxMtqkp31ez5dLA6fqOeQu0osc9FwOYygP1txNhzo2sD8XYU2_2CD8TYZQKn_EcEPaIVEhk0GYbyx7cEF/s800/IMG_1177.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="743" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWwubrAI57pAxtzkWVhuIHTzQ9PhzQ3jXHm24H3eq8NU6lnoncSmOng9jJdnlWZa3uC4g68aoUHIR3jfqvAOYiGE6lpE7Ws33sHHgv3eBWxMtqkp31ez5dLA6fqOeQu0osc9FwOYygP1txNhzo2sD8XYU2_2CD8TYZQKn_EcEPaIVEhk0GYbyx7cEF/w594-h640/IMG_1177.jpeg" width="594" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #202122; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><span><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34);"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span> Margaret Churchill, charted, similar to Harriet Salt but includes building, bed number and house number.</span><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34);"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #202122; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo1UszMwaN6oNmrY0Fmi5v9UIJIrb6D906Ce46OYjkTyJzjj3y4jfDs7VPm7hhmYzDjiEssjb1HDjMykgWIMkwEvJ33iiHZT8jeOIw58HAuVhjRNrJrgG9hgGj2G9eZWjSPLr1YSaMnhegzvcLSSk297dHSXKz4zA5FFiy35gAAKvkI3PGznCtTzr9/s1434/Screenshot%202023-06-13%20at%207.38.54%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1434" data-original-width="1191" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo1UszMwaN6oNmrY0Fmi5v9UIJIrb6D906Ce46OYjkTyJzjj3y4jfDs7VPm7hhmYzDjiEssjb1HDjMykgWIMkwEvJ33iiHZT8jeOIw58HAuVhjRNrJrgG9hgGj2G9eZWjSPLr1YSaMnhegzvcLSSk297dHSXKz4zA5FFiy35gAAKvkI3PGznCtTzr9/w532-h640/Screenshot%202023-06-13%20at%207.38.54%20AM.png" width="532" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #202122; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><span><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 34);"><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span> M.

It is an alphabet sampler with a variation of the The Universal Prayer by Alexander Pope.

She answered all our questions and provided some entertainment as well as teaching the stitch. She made it easy to do - albeit you do need to practice them and each time they get better. A tip to remember was to do all the cross stitching in a project first and then come back and lay in the spiral trellis stitches. </p><p>Guild members also brought in their finishes of Theresa’s patterns. We are so lucky to have such a talent as a member of our Guild!</p><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ykvC3tLtHs_OsMyJttBdiRrA1euBKrkq7mRsRfe_QsE3_eeBxosZz51J-11uxkTdikvOOYGBghAyX6tINXQ6hSa0QLgzLaFlKpfxStXDBuHZV2we4uI_RvH6zp0WezRiBvPP9YWklqTafgUWJbTxPyhdFhpt0lBZg_6xcFhcc6TT0Z2k4cj6n4Oz/s2048/340088389_250260307425117_667444150641037654_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1958" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ykvC3tLtHs_OsMyJttBdiRrA1euBKrkq7mRsRfe_QsE3_eeBxosZz51J-11uxkTdikvOOYGBghAyX6tINXQ6hSa0QLgzLaFlKpfxStXDBuHZV2we4uI_RvH6zp0WezRiBvPP9YWklqTafgUWJbTxPyhdFhpt0lBZg_6xcFhcc6TT0Z2k4cj6n4Oz/w612-h640/340088389_250260307425117_667444150641037654_n.jpg" width="612" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtTeIxDV0rhnXp9y6pmIEN9ZMx5zLfRZUCRxob5JCfpI7Bko4uNjqvhYU2x5rbltV9ZG8vKH1GvnofaorczgmS2C-8i1xHjvNqz86D748HtY4L5PP3E-KPpuLewAMtzqrW4nNlCs5I_ZDCPfEZ84baJSKHk0e4F3Ao5Zt9b2uMdL-vBQj9vjhAihHq/s2048/340290879_598046115558074_507080519545529590_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtTeIxDV0rhnXp9y6pmIEN9ZMx5zLfRZUCRxob5JCfpI7Bko4uNjqvhYU2x5rbltV9ZG8vKH1GvnofaorczgmS2C-8i1xHjvNqz86D748HtY4L5PP3E-KPpuLewAMtzqrW4nNlCs5I_ZDCPfEZ84baJSKHk0e4F3Ao5Zt9b2uMdL-vBQj9vjhAihHq/w480-h640/340290879_598046115558074_507080519545529590_n.jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg8VNE-h4b0aAHEH4ccJT81tdqO4RUTFh6YFKlbr-e-ipNLMmq6zES4l1usI0w84ilFa6iFDMu-lH3ix00GeBOzr7QkYTF_D4ara2TpXIpgA0yggu-0DnpfgoQuvamUvCiqgEdyOCaRpFGIhcQ9BEHnSxJFluU7Wxn75-ha7tgWGW7YRY4vJofYpq_/s2048/340298163_788123706289660_7770334575138667117_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1678" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg8VNE-h4b0aAHEH4ccJT81tdqO4RUTFh6YFKlbr-e-ipNLMmq6zES4l1usI0w84ilFa6iFDMu-lH3ix00GeBOzr7QkYTF_D4ara2TpXIpgA0yggu-0DnpfgoQuvamUvCiqgEdyOCaRpFGIhcQ9BEHnSxJFluU7Wxn75-ha7tgWGW7YRY4vJofYpq_/w524-h640/340298163_788123706289660_7770334575138667117_n.jpg" width="524" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_8S6hd_LnbZGXD34BPcTcplYmBpAE1deNSauA81bqVCsw3GkIMtgu3u_JzCXY1pK4X0tEdi_4ofjVtQC_YXLL3do10ddRGu1R770WoPmUe0b8Pj6yCma07-cIlwEKBk1KxQxF_sPz9XVAPJqjAeRaFyibFfJ51dNPiRJU3EqBZvKvAw3FVjn185z/s2048/340285470_4544495395674256_3390099011469891221_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="2048" height="612" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_8S6hd_LnbZGXD34BPcTcplYmBpAE1deNSauA81bqVCsw3GkIMtgu3u_JzCXY1pK4X0tEdi_4ofjVtQC_YXLL3do10ddRGu1R770WoPmUe0b8Pj6yCma07-cIlwEKBk1KxQxF_sPz9XVAPJqjAeRaFyibFfJ51dNPiRJU3EqBZvKvAw3FVjn185z/w640-h612/340285470_4544495395674256_3390099011469891221_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p><br /></p>Member tip - New member Audrey B. shared a nifty little tip - you know those erasers you get that you pop on the end of your pencil once the pencil erase is gone?

We have had 29 new members since July 2022.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The Treasurer's Report was shared. We have no outstanding bills. Donations for the Conservation Fund in Sylvia D.'s name will be accepted.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Elections - Pat Lerch has volunteered to serve on the Nominating Committee for Elections. Elections will be in November. Vice-President/Programming and Treasurer are the offices open.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Historian - We are still looking for someone to take on the role of Historian for the Guild. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Conservation Committee - The Committee is working with two different historical societies in New Jersey to find a sampler for restoration. Finding a suitable sampler is a slow process and they continue to work at it. The Committee is going to reach out to Winterthur to get an idea of the cost to restore a sampler. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Guild Stitch a long - The rows for completion this month on the Garden of Stitches are Band 18 and the second row of the alphabet. Please remember to share your progress on our Facebook page.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Reminder - The Scarlett House is our Designer of the Year for 2022. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Programs</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">October meetings will be switched. The Monthly Stitch-in will be the second Saturday of October, 10/8. The Regular Meeting will be the 4th Saturday. On October 22, we will meeting in person for the first time in two and a half years!!!! More information on the location will be in your newsletter. <span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">For our first meeting in person in quite some time Stacy has planned something special. She has organized a One-Day Round Robin. We will be using the Hello from Liz Matthews Friendship Basket pattern. It is a complimentary design from Liz Matthews. How is works is you bring your pre-stitch piece to the meeting with the flosses you would like to be used on your piece. I suggest you put everything in a bag (zip-lock or similar) and put your name on it. </span><b style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;">You need to only stitch the bottom, the basket, and the year.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> You should put basting stitches on the sides. </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Each stitcher will provide their own linen and floss for the project. </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">The piece is only 53 stitches wide by as tall as you make it. You will pass your started piece to friends at the meeting who will add flowers to your basket. Some of the motifs are as few as 4 stitches, while others may have a couple dozen stitches. DVHSG will create a paper to follow your piece so each stitcher can write their name and what they stitched. Stitchers can use Cross stitch, eyelets, Smyrna crosses, etc. to complete your basket of flowers. You may want to include small buttons that stitchers may wish to add to your piece. Once all the flowers have been added, you will take your piece home to complete the sides and top border. When finished, you will have a great little stitched piece which has been touched by so many friends. You can fully finish the piece as you wish.</span></span></p><p class="x_ydpe3a7beeaMsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); color: #201f1e; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">This will be done at our October Meeting.

We will start stitching once the business portion of the meeting is done, breaking for lunch and then continuing to stitch until approximately 3 p.m. Because this will be our first meeting at this new location, it will be easiest if everyone brings their own bagged lunch and beverage. </span></span></p><p class="x_ydpe3a7beeaMsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); color: #201f1e; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">November - Liz Matthews DVHSG Tree finishing class via Zoom.</span></span></p><p class="x_ydpe3a7beeaMsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 31, 30); color: #201f1e; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">December - Susan H. will handle the Holiday Exchange.

Fabric was hard to come by so these huswifs were assembled from whatever scrapes the homemake had on hand. These were precious to the soldiers and may have carried photographs, locks of hair from a loved one, needle and thread, buttons and money. Caryl C. will share copies of Union and Confederate money for you to print and put in your huswif. </span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Linda went through the kit and offered tips on finishing the cross stitched work into the huswif.

She welcomed new members and guests.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Linda spoke of recognition and respect of late member Patti H. Patti was our Historian and provided us a wonderful recap of our history at our Anniversary Event. Patti's knowledge of samplers was only matched by her dedication to the art and her ability to chart historic samplers. The Conservation Committee will be researching a New Jersey Sampler to conserve in Patti's honor. DVHSG is accepting donations in Patti's memory towards this conservation project. Patti's husband has the large collection of back issues of Just Cross Stitch magazines. If you are be interested in the magazines, contact Nancy F. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In light of Patti's passing, DVHSG will be creating a committee to act as the <b>Guild Historians</b>. The Guild is looking for two or three people. The committee will be asked to be responsible but not limited to the following: for posting announcements and activities online; reporting to the Board monthly; attend meetings in person; taking photos of projects and Show and Tell; document Guild projects with photos and words; maintain a list of members who do programs and coordinate a drawing each January for a gift; use of current technology to have information available, including Facebook; document and keeping a timeline. providing a once a year re-cap each January. Please contact Linda D. is you are interested in working on the committee.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Our <b>Conservation Committee</b> for this year will be Marnie B. as Chairperson, Pat L, Cinda Crane, Mary H., and Susan H. will coordinate the Zoom Meetings for the group.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Holiday Smalls Exchange - Susan Hyedt will coordination a hybrid Holiday Exchange. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">SAL - Garden of Stitches from Samplers Not Forgotten</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This month's assignment is to complete Bands 10 and 11.

More information to follow.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><i>Today's Program Silk Gauze Class</i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Linda D. discussed the history of silk gauze work. First done in the 1200's in the Town of Paisley (famous for the lovely paisley patterns we know), in Scotland. In the early 1700's, England and Scotland united. Paisley was a border town and the sale of linens and silks flourished until the 1790's.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We will be working on the "leno" style of weaving, it is a stronger weave the interlocks the warp and the weft to keep the weave from shifting. Counts of silk gauze range from 18 count to 90 count! The needle size is important. 40 count is the most popular. A No. 28 needle is suitable for 40 count. Many silk projects are full coverage. It is not necessary, just more common. Work on silk by stitching to attach your gauze in the center of a larger piece of fabric. CAREFULLY cut away a 'window' of fabric to expose the silk and use a hoop to hold taunt by only the fabric. See <a href="https://ericamichaels.com/stitching-on-silk-gauze/">Erica Michael's page</a> for tips on working on silk gauze. Silk gauze can also be mounted on a cardboard frame using tape - also shown on Erica's Michael's page. Work with something dark on your lap or work area to help see the silk threads. For this project, we will be using the Tent Stitch. Stitching is starting with an away knot.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Stitch the project for assembling at the August meeting. Some things to 'gather' to use in finishing are kraft paper, Mod Podge, ribbons, laces, coordinating fabrics, stickers, buttons, Folk Art (or similar) paints, tissue paper, scrapbook paper, fronts of greeting cards, felt, hole punch.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Next Meeting - July 9th - Civil War Huswif discussion.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>DVHSGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16190000850444896095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221579537328068382.post-73317830645114271782022-05-30T10:11:00.003-07:002022-06-15T12:02:56.968-07:00May 2022<p> <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We had a fabulous weekend commemorating our 20th Anniversary, albeit 2 years late thanks to the pandemic!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The weekend started with field trips to <a href="https://www.westtown.edu">The Westtown School,</a> in operation since 1799, they have a vast collection of Quaker needlework.
