A Needle Pulling Thread Issue 48 Sampler
Just in time for merry-making comes our Ornaments Issue! All ornaments are a great way to learn techniques, use up our leftover fabrics, yarn and threads, and are fantastic for making last minute little commemorative gifts. They are also great for mixing & matching the techniques from one ornament to another - this is quite an adventure! Warning: all ornaments can become an addiction, as it can be difficult to stop at making just one when you find your favourite. Also in this issue, we explore Arrowhead Smocking and all of its possibilities! And check out our Pulled Thread Pastries, the first project in a series on pulled thread work. These adorable cushions look like pastries, but they also work well as ornaments. Plus, what will you do with the pulled thread patterns? See what we have to say about taking a trip with Eat Your Heart Out Tours as we travel to the Kutch Desert region to experience a vibrant textile way of life!

Seminar 2019 – Beyond the Edge<br />
The Embroiderers’ Association of<br />
Canada (EAC) and the Embroiderers’<br />
Guild of Victoria (EGV) are hosting<br />
the 2019 national seminar in Victoria,<br />
British Columbia. This annual event<br />
draws hundreds of participants keen<br />
to expand their knowledge and skills<br />
in a variety of needlework techniques.<br />
A warm, West Coast welcome awaits<br />
all who come to Victoria in May 2019<br />
for a visit and stay to stitch among<br />
friends. Planning for ‘Beyond the Edge’<br />
has happily consumed a dedicated<br />
team of volunteers for the past two<br />
years.<br />
The annual Seminar will be held<br />
at the scenic University of Victoria,<br />
situated on the traditional lands of<br />
the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich), Lkwungen<br />
(Songhees), and Wyomilth (Esquimalt)<br />
peoples of the Coast Salish Nation.<br />
The springtime gardens of Victoria will<br />
be in full bloom in May – considered<br />
to be the most beautiful time of the<br />
year by residents and visitors alike. Of<br />
special note are the rhododendrons<br />
resplendent in Finnerty Gardens<br />
on the grounds of the university.<br />
Attendees will have ample time to<br />
enjoy the flowers during a week of<br />
exciting classes and planned activities.<br />
So, reserve the dates – May 14 to May<br />
19, 2019 – and consider joining us for<br />
‘Beyond the Edge’. We look forward<br />
to meeting you and sharing our<br />
common passion for needlework and<br />
textile art during a very special week.<br />
We’re excited to announce that we<br />
have the following teachers sharing<br />
their talents and abilities at the<br />
seminar: Kate Barlow, Stephanie<br />
Bonneau, Chris Berry, Bonnie-Lynn<br />
Ceriko, Alison Cole, Natalie Dupuis,<br />
Barbara Gilbert, Gail Harker, José Hope,<br />
Barbara M. Kershaw, Diane Mugford,<br />
Mike Parr, Dale Rollerson, Lorene Salt,<br />
Naomi Smith, Sue Sprake, and Carol<br />
