ALL MEMBER EVENT
Zoom Training
late May and early June
Several Zoom training sessions will be offered to BDEIG members so that they are ready to par- ticipate in the Zoom member events. For participation in many of these events, it is recommended that each member have a computer or laptop, if possible. The use of tablets or smart phones is possible, but the member will not have the same robust experience as they would with a computer or laptop. For all events, participating members are expected to have their Name on their Zoom session.
Training sessions will include how to change your name, how to mute/unmute your device, how to use Zoom Breakout rooms, and other Zoom features as needed.
More information will be available in the May newsletter and through BDEIG emails.

Classroom Etiquette
Avoid excessive talking. Listen to the teacher and do not attempt to answer questions for the teacher. Listen to instructions carefully and read all written material. Do not monopolize teacher’s time. Share!
Teachers are hired for their expertise. If your method for that technique is different, give the new way a try. Do not discuss other teachers or their style. If you differ with the teacher, use the evaluation form to express your views.
Written directions are not to be copied or taught without written permission from the teacher. Remember copyright laws.
Be on time and prepared with class needs as called for in instructions. Anticipate extra needs: extension cords, lights, needles, etc.
Make every effort to stay for the entire session.
If you must leave early, forewarn the teacher and plan to get additional instructions from a fellow student.
Do not demand time from the teacher.

Designing from Paper to Fabric
Class: ThA-3
Level/Intensity: Advanced/M/H
Session Hrs: 4
Session: 2 of 3
Instructor: Debbie Kelley
Designer: Debbie Kelley
Perhaps you’ve taken my “A Designer’s World” class and would like to experience a more in-depth study of how to take a design from paper to fabric & beyond. Perhaps you haven’t and want to see how the wheels turn and ideas develop. This class is for you! I’ve had to make some scheduling adjustments to convert this class from in-person to online. We’ll have one session before seminar starts and the other two scheduled for the first and last seminar class sessions.
What stitches will we use? Stitches you have learned, ones I have learned/created, ones we find in research. What are the possibilities? How will we achieve texture, dimension (literally or as an illusion). We’ll use a doodle cloth (provided) to try out the different techniques the class chooses and see if they work like we want. If not, back to the drawing board! Together we can create a lovely design. Experience the full paper-to-fabric process through the eyes and thoughts of your fellow students and a B.E. designer. Let’s DO this!
There will be three sessions to this class.
Session one (3-hours) will concentrate on brainstorming and researching stitches, images, threads, textures, and techniques. Students will choose which part of the design they want to create and that will be their “homework”.
Session two (FOUR hours) will analyze how the techniques worked, changes to be made, keep it, or toss it, discoveries, accidental stitch creations (that’s how most of mine happen, when I was trying to do something else), etc.
Session three (three hours) will finalize the stitching and begin to compose the instructions for the components of the design. If needed, we will have a follow-up zoom session to com- plete the design.
Designing from Paper to Fabric continued
Get Acquainted, Saturday, June 8, 10:00am Pacific, 1-1.5 hours
We’ll spend just a few minutes getting acquainted with Zoom and each other. The rest of the time we’ll look at the drawing of the design. You will have already received the class materials. We’ll discuss using the books you have and I’ll demonstrate other sources to help you find stitches/techniques to convey the look you want. We’ll talk about what textures/ design parts we need to be researching.
You have homework! Keep doing research!
Session 1, Getting Started and Beyond. Monday, June 10, 3 hours, 10:00am-11:30am Pacific, Break 11:30-12:30, resume 12:30-2:00pm. We have some leeway on this timing, we won’t be on “seminar time”.
This is where we’ll start looking at your ideas and will continue to concentrate on brainstorming and researching stitches, images, threads, textures, and techniques. How will we achieve texture, dimension (literally or as an illusion).
We’ll settle on what stitches/techniques will be used (changing one’s mind is allowed) for which design parts.
Students will choose which part of the design they want to create and that will be their “homework”. Homework will also include a photo of their part, sent to me, by 5pm Pacific time the night before the last session. I want to see everything you did, including the stuff you stopped stitching and why. Sometimes someone else can look at a “mistake” and have great suggestions for altering it to work! My homework is to attempt to piece them together to give a loose impression of what the finished design will look like.
Session 2, Parts is Parts, Let’s put them together! Thursday, June 13, 4 hours, 8am-10am PDT,
Break, 11am-1am PDT. We’ll look at the proposed finished piece. We will analyze how the techniques worked, changes to be made, keep it, or toss it, discoveries, accidental stitch creations (that’s how most of mine happen, when I was trying to do something else), etc.
Part of this class is going to be dynamic, we’ll go with the flow.
*sigh* Homework again.
Session 3, NOW what? Monday, June 17, 3 hours, 8:30am-10:00am, PDT, Break, 11:00am- 12:30pm PDT.
We will finalize the stitching and any other loose ends if needed.
We will discuss taking the design beyond the fabric, into writing instructions.
Design Area: 4 x 5
Fabric Size: 10 x 12
Floss Needed: Whatever you have available in your supplies! Basic Supplies Required: Yes
Other Supplies. I will be sending out some stitching supplies that I think have possibilities for use in this design. You’ll need the supplies you have at home. Some examples are threads (keep in mind the threads you have, textures, type, etc.), beads, fabrics (felt, silk, tulle, textured, etc.)
Material Fee: $35, , includes background fabric, line drawing of design, and lots of interesting materials that may be used in the design.

My Favorite Wild Rose
Class: FA-3 Level/Intensity: Advanced/Medium
Session Hrs: 4
Session: 1
Instructor: Debbie Kelley
Designer: Debbie Kelley
The petals on this lovely wild rose are created using my Interwoven Cast-on Stitch. This stitch is done using a drizzle technique, with four strands of floss and five needles. Don’t let that scare you, in class we’ll take it one step at a time. It is a very versatile stitch and has many possibilities! Various padding techniques are used on the leaves, stem, and buds. Students need to be familiar with the following stitches, bullion, satin stitch, stem stitch, double stem stitch, cast-on, drizzle, French knot. A doodle cloth will be provided for practicing the interwoven cast-on.

However, you can use your imagination and change the colors of the rose
petals. You can make the petals go from light on the inside to darker on the
outer edge (or dark to light), or change from one color to another, like yellow
to pink. For example, my colors go from gray (Frost 228) in the center of the
petal, to tan (Frost 202), to rose (Frost 163), to burgundy (Lola 157) on the
outside. To choose your own colors you’ll need 3 Frost colors and 1 Lola. I
can help you choose.

At the end, we’ll discuss a simple way to frame this piece on an 8 “ hoop.

I also stitch Romanian point lace, needle lace, needle tatting, stump work, hardanger, pulled work, drawn threads, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, needlepoint, and beading.

PAT KAMPERSCHROER
I was introduced to Brazilian Embroidery 30 years ago. Though often other commitments got in my way, I found Brazilian embroidery to be my favorite form of needle artwork. I am a fledging designer and have taught classes in previous seminars and in person in my community.
DEBBIE KELLEY
I have been teaching Brazilian Embroidery for 28 years. I began designing in 1993 and taught my first classes at the BDEIG seminar in 1994. Prior to that I taught at a local yarn shop and offered classes through the local community college, UCC. I have been teaching at the BDEIG seminars for 28 years and have taught BDEIG local chapters, EGA Chapters, and through quilting and stitching shops across the country. I have traveled and taught in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, and Canada. During the past two years I have taught 3 classes via Zoom for the BDEIG 2021 Virtual Seminar plus numerous classes through the BDEIG Distance Learning Program.
