Sporting Nations Project San Marino

We have now completed our contribution to the Sporting Nations Project initiated by The Embroiderers' Guild. Each branch was given a country and ours was San Marino, a small republic surrounded by Italy.
The embroideries below show our members interpretation of the geography and culture of that country carried out in a whole range of different stitch techniques. Our members should be very pleased with the colourful and attractive outcome.
The postcards will now be posted to Embroiderers' Guild house where they will be joined by all the other postcards from groups across Great Britain to be displayed at venues up and down the country in readiness for the Sporting Games.
Well Done and Thank You Everyone!

January Meeting 2012 Thread Bins

This month's meeting was led by one of our own members Anne Covell who showed us how to make Thread Bins for all our snippets of thread. The design was rather ingenious in that it telescoped down to a small flat cirle when folded away.















Anne showed us a completed bin and some half finished ones so that she could demonstrate how they were made and how the stitching joined the pieces together.

















We made a tube of fabric and then cut out 2 x card circles, 2 x wadding circles and 2 x fabric circles larger than the card circles.
The fabric circles were gathered and pulled tightly over the card and wadding. This was done twice for the base and then the two separate pieces were sewn together.










A four inch inner tambour ring was slipped inside the half folded tube and stabbed stitched tightly in place.












































The circles were then stitched in place one to one side of the doubled fabric one to the other. This was hard to imagine but Anne demonstrated on her half completed bins and it started to make sense.







































































At the end of the day we had all completed a thread bin something which happens very rarely as we usually run out of time. A big thank you to Anne for helping us make something attractive and also useful.


We will now be the neatest sewers around with all threads in our bins!!!

reticle

A reticle (or reticule) is a net of fine lines or fibers in the eyepiece of a sighting device, such as a telescope, a telescopic sight, a microscope, or the screen of an oscilloscope. The word reticle comes from the Latin "reticulum," meaning "net." Today, engraved lines or embedded fibers may be replaced by a computer-generated image superimposed on a screen or eyepiece. The term graticule is the synonymous term from French, it comes from the Latin craticula for gridiron. Both may be used to describe any set of lines used for optical measurement, but in modern use the term reticle is most commonly used for gunsights and such, while graticule is more widely used for the covers of oscilloscopes and similar roles.
There are many variations of reticles; this article concerns itself mainly with a simple reticle: crosshairs. Crosshairs are most commonly represented as intersecting lines in the shape of a cross, "+", though many variations exist, including dots, posts, circles, scales, chevrons, or a combination of these. Most commonly associated with telescopic sights for aiming firearms, crosshairs are also common in optical instruments used for astronomy and surveying, and are also popular in graphical user interfaces as a precision pointer. The reticle is said to have been invented by Robert Hooke, and dates to the 17th century.[1]

reticules

"All young ladies accomplished! My dear Charles, what do you mean?"
"Yes, all of them, I think. They all paint tables, cover screens, and net purses. I scarcely know anyone who cannot do all this, and I am sure I never heard of a young lady spoken of for the first time, without being informed that she was very accomplished.
Pride and Prejudice, chapter 8

Because the straight lines of Regency gowns did not provide room for pockets, women were forced to carry necessary items in small drawstring bags called reticules. Precursor to today's purse, the reticule provided a place to store important things (small parcels, spare change, the ever-present handkerchief, a small mirror, perhaps a snuffbox [all the rage at the time] or powder, smelling salts, and a love-letter or two) close at hand.

Reticules could be made of fabric coordinating with a particular gown or ensemble; some had papier mache bases and fabric tops. Toward the end of the Regency, they began using clasps as an alternative to the drawstring. Reticules frequently featured beading or embroidery and could be quite elaborate.

One other type of purse that was popular, was the "Miser's" or "Stocking" purse. Shaped like a tube (or sock) it had an opening in the center. When held in the middle you had two pockets in which to hold spare change. Rings slid down from the center to keep each side closed. Making purses was a popular pastime, as they could be knitted, netted or crocheted.
