My class at EGA 2019 Seminar

I don’t think I’ve mentioned here yet that I’ll be teaching at the EGA (Embroiderers Guild of America) 2019 Seminar. This is more than a little bit exciting for me, as it’s the first time I’ll be teaching in the USA! The seminar will be held from October 30 to November 3, 2019 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The class I’ll be teaching is a Whitework Cube Sampler. This project came about because I was thinking of making an embroidered cube. I was thinking that 6 different Portuguese whitework designs (one for each face) would make an interesting project, but my husband suggested putting different styles of embroidery on the faces. What a great idea! The three different techniques we will learn are Holsaum (Norway), Punt ‘e nù (Sardinia), Guimarães embroidery (Portugal). There will be two faces of each style, each with a different design. It’s a fourth day class, so we’ll have one day for each style, and then the fourth day will be continuing with any or all of the embroideries, and a demo of the construction of the cube.

Currently enrolments are only open to EGA members. If you’re not a member, one presumes you could become one and enrol now. Otherwise, non-member enrolments will open on 16th March 2019.
