April 14 Quarterly Meeting
Please join us on Tuesday, April 14, at 6:30 pm for our April Quarterly Meeting. We will meet as usual at Messiah Lutheran Church in Knoxville, TN.
After snacks and our business meeting, we will have a wonderful program by Nancy Claiborne whose bio is below:
I was born in Atlanta, and lived there except for almost ten years in Knoxville. A self-taught embroiderer, I learned to stitch from studying Jacqueline Enthoven’s The Stitches of Creative Embroidery. I look for textural materials to use in stitch projects, as well as linen that can be altered by paints and cloth manipulation techniques. To this end, I work in a fiber studio in a remodeled detached garage set in our back garden. The garden is a great influence in my work.
The program for the April Quarterly Meeting, “Stitching The Journey,” is about the year and a half the FreeStyle Group spent studying Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn’s DVD, “In Stitches.” There will be stitch samplers from the group study on display, with dialog about the processes and the commentary from Beaney and Littlejohn. In addition, there will be an opportunity to sample some of the techniques and materials we used to get these stitched effects.
Please bring a 5” or 6” hoop and embroidery scissors with you to the meeting. Fabric, thread, and needle will be provided for your use, and FreeStylers will be available to help you as together we go through different ways of looking at the possibilities of the stitch.
I hope you’ll come and enjoy this evening of exploring the textured world of Beaney and Littlejohn as the FreeStyle group has interpreted it
January 13 Quarterly Meeting
Please join us at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at Messiah Lutheran Church off Kingston Pike and Papermill Drive in Knoxville. As a reminder, we follow Knox County Schools’ winter weather closing schedule. If they close for snow on January 13, we will not meet either.
Following the Business Meeting on January 13, we will enjoy a presentation by our own Gail DeLuca, entitled “Beads and Culture: An Exploration of the Role of Beads in Everyday Lives Throughout History.” Exclusive for Knox EGA, Gail is “doing an expanded version of…her presentation to include a discussion of currently available bead types, shapes and sizes as a practical guide for selecting beads for the embellishment and beadwork we do in EGA.”
