September 2025

At last June's meeting, it was decided that the theme for next June's TATA (Trillium Annual Themed Award) would be 'smalls'. Basically something stitched that is small, and often a useful item such as a needlebook, pin cushion, scissor case, scissor fob, etc. 

At our first meeting of the 2025 - 2026 year, several members brought in some of their smalls for inspiration.

September Show and Share

Nancy brought in the sampler she started at StitchCon in 2019 - completed this year. It's 'A Saviour's Praise' from Shakespeare's Peddler.

Meagan's 'Believe' designed by Erin Elizabeth, stitched on 32ct Paranormal linen.

Marion's wool felt appliqué seashore project. From experience, rug hooking wool is the best to work with.

Marilyn's felted wool turtle.

Victoria's 'Still Queen of the Needle' from Just Nan.

Bernie took a photo of this design on a visit to Minister's Island PEI - only accessible by car at low tide. 

Back at home, she charted it onto graph paper, then stitched it keeping true to the original colours.

Inspired by an Indigo bookmark, she also designed and stitched a bookmark and little bellpull.

Victoria's Mary Allcorn sampler drum from Hobby House Press. This reproduction was originally designed in 1764.
