May 2014 - Needlework and Textile Guild of Michigan
May 2014 Volume 3, Issue 9 NTGM (Needlework & Textile Guild of Michigan) MISSION STATEMENT: The purpose shall MISSION STATEMENT: The purpose shall be to foster the art of needlework, with special emphasis on work done with a needle with an eye & related disciplines, with an eye to encourage high standards of design & technique & to bring together members who shall learn, share, teach & participate to the fullest extent in this endeavor. From the President: We have about one more month before our annual June potluck luncheon. For new members, the end-of-the-year luncheon is our big soiree, where we host a potluck (Board members bring desserts and members bring other food – details to come) and a Creativity Show where we show everyone what we have created over the year. It is always a fun event for the group. Somehow, we neglected to form a committee to manage the luncheon this year. Kathy Shuller will be the Creativity Show Coordinator, but we need volunteers to be Food Coordinator, Table Decorations (usually small flowers), and a Show and Tell Coordinator, and anything else I am forgetting. Sue Mathes has very good notes on the amounts of drinks and other items the Guild purchases. Please consider volunteering, even if it just to set up or clean up. Speaking of volunteering, I will take a poll of Board Members before the June luncheon to see who would like to continue volunteering, and who would like to try something else. In June, we will hold our annual Board of Directors elections. Please consider giving us some of your time and skills if you have not previously done so. See you in May- Debra MEETING & WORKSHOP INFORMATION TIMES: Flea Market, Library, and socializing start about 9:30 Formal meeting starts at 10:00 Lecture presentation starts after Formal Meeting Workshop Hours on Tuesday: 12:30 to 3:30 Workshop Hours on Wednesday: 9:30 to 3:30 Even with the heat all the way up, the hall is chilly.

She will have garments (in a variety of sizes) for the audience to try on. plus home decor and wall hangings that to compliment Kathy's workshop. Most of the items will be for sale. Visit Judy Petrovich's Facebook page for some of her ideas on felted garments. About the Artist: “I aspire to create truly wearable art that's unique and elegant, but flattering to all, regardless of size.” I've spent the majority of my working career in the technical illustration field of the automotive industry. The precision that type of drawing required was something I truly enjoyed, and it carried through in my love for sewing and tailoring over the years. My appreciation for structure, in both work and hobby, was tempered with a driving need to be on the cusp of creativity, always looking for that "extra something" to make my creations truly different. That need drove me to explore anything I could find ... knitting, crocheting, crewel, needlepoint hand and machine embroidery, and countless other techniques, that I could incorporate to make my work different. About seven years ago I discovered alpacas, a small animal raised for it's fiber, and was enamored with it's luxurious feel (handle). I was determined to find a way to create alpaca fabric that I could sew into spectacular garments. That desire led me to a newly designed dry felting machine called the FeltLOOM that could produce non-woven fabric as yardage. It sounded like a solution, but I had "perceived" nonwoven material, or felt, to be of low quality, but that couldn't be further from the truth. To prove that point to myself, I entered the 2009 Michigan Make It With Wool Contest, and created the non- woven fabric that I used for my sewing entry. Much to my surprise, I won the Adult division with my sewing skills, but the unique, hand-made fabric had totally impressed the judges! My FeltLOOM and I now create custom non-woven fabric. By blending fiber from my alpaca herd with a spectrum of silks, wools, cottons and bamboo, I achieve quality material of a consistent weight and unlimited designs that will amaze you. I've taken my sewing and need to be creative to the next level .... from raw fiber to the finished project! he FeltLOOM sparks creativity and new ideas in my mind, every single day and I love to share it, as well as my passion for sewing, with others. The excitement's contagious!!!

It’s fun and adds another dimension to your creative work. In this workshop you will create an art piece that you can hang on the wall, use as a journal cover, make into a purse, or attach to your clothing. You will learn the basics of needle felting, and then it’s up to your imagination. The sky is the limit! SUPPLIES needed for class: Piece of felt or wool for backing – between 12x12 to 20x16 Roving in colors of your choice, (don’t overlook the colors that make you cringe) Felt and/or wool – scraps large and small Yarns, threads, trims Embellishing machine (with instruction booklet and accessories) or hand needle punch with pad Extra needles if you have them This process works when the barbs of the needles connect and melt the fibers together. Keep that in mind when selecting things to bring. There is NO KIT FEE.. “If you’re longing for more courage, if you crave the soul-deep bravery required to tackle a new project, you must first face your fears.” Molly Anderson-Childers NTGM (Needlework & Textile Guild of Michigan) Page 5 COUPON FOR WORKSHOP COUPON: May 13-14, 2014 with Kathy Jacobi Fine Art Felting NAME: _____________________________________________________________________________ ADDRESS:__________________________________________________________________________ E-MAIL:______________________________________PHONE: ______________________________ PROGRAM FEE: $55 MAIL TO: NTGMN c/o Susan McCarty 1764 Hopedale Troy, MI 48085 Questions: 248 528-1273 KIT FEE: NONE Paying by check, make it payable to the instructor.

May will be the last month to check out NTGM library items. All items are due back in June. We do not loan over the summer. New Items: Quilting Arts TV DVDs – Series 1300 – Another set of episodes from the popular series. Please remember to treat them gently. DonationsWe have new books galore via donations by members (Karen Beltry and Susan McCarty), and non-members as well. Creative Wire Jewelry by Kathy Peterson Making Wire Jewelry by Helen Clegg and Mary Larom Applique by Pauline Brown Three Dimensional Beadwork by Sigrid Wynne-Evans Petal Play and Petal by Petal by Joan Shay Beadwork Basics by Ann Benson. If you have the urge to purge or have realized that you will never get to that fiber art area in this lifetime, consider sharing your wealth with the Guild. If you have any suggestions for particular books, or topics you feel warrant more books or DVDs, please email me. Goals and Policies: 1. The goal of the NTGM library is to provide all members with free access to books and other materials on a wide range of fiber art-related topics. As with any public library, we need to be sure books stay in circulation by ensuring that they are returned in a timely fashion. Please be considerate of other members and try to return your materials by the next meeting. You must be a current member to check out any materials. 2. If you check out books and cannot come to the next month’s meeting, please find someone to bring them in (check your NTGM directory) or mail them, so that other members may have access as well. Many people did a fabulous job of this last year. We realize that last minute things come up that may prevent you from attending a meeting (illnesses, etc.), but people do wait for a book to come back in. 3. Due to the popularity of the library, we must limit the number of materials checked out by a member to a maximum of 5 per month 4. If something bad happens to your book (the P.O. loses it, the dog eats it, you spilled ice cream over it at the beach, etc.), please expect to replace it for the Guild. If you have friends who are not members who would like to use this resource, please encourage them to join. YOU are responsible for any items checked out in your name. 5. Finally, we will continue to make reminder calls the Monday before meetings, if it is helpful. As always, if you have a particular item you’d like to see in the library, please let us know. Email me ---I can’t remember items mentioned at the meetings!
