Mirjam, I know that is how so many stitches have been "invented." Reading
any of Jean Hilton's stitch books, she often tells of what she was thinking
as she started doodling around, and voila -a stitch has come into existence.
Thanks for appreciating the site - it's one of my favorites to recommend.
The stitches on the ANG site were being diagrammed by Beth Robertson. She,
along with Suzanne Howeren & Ann Casswell are "the Thread Technique Team" .
The 3 of them wrote the "Thread Thesaurus" which is a fabulous reference
with on weights, substitutions of different threads. Suzanne and Beth wrote
the series "Stitches for Effect", More Stitches and "Even More Stitches..."
which have tons of stitches, with excellent diagrams and annotations of
their uses and particular thread suitability. Can you tell I like them?
We're lucky in this area that they're local, and guild members.
Since I've been teaching canvaswork in the more intermediate to advanced
projects - so to speak - I've really been using my references, and it's been
fun playing with all these different stitches again. And the different
effects you get by changing some aspect ratio or a thread type.
Anyhow, happy to have been of some service.

Ellice ,
i was sure you knew that about `how Stitiches are Born? ` and i was
delighted by the names. Here , in Israel we had a time when every
teacher taught stitiches, and calling it as she saw fit, sometimes it
was a translation from her or her parents native tungue, sometimes it
was her own creative idea. Thus at a certain time the Academie for the
Hebrew language , had a comittee that that decided about some of the
Most Common basic stitches, which got an OFFICIAL name ... of course
they could not name each variation that we `develope` while working.
I am interested in both fiber art as well as in fiber Lingua,,,it
opens so much Knowledge of traditions and culture before us,,,
the proper Hebrew name for xstitching is Rekima Mesukelet
I would like to send you a scan of some very layered stitv=ching i
did , but i am not sure i have your email ,,,,
I enjoy letting my needle go it`s own way and make various
developments of a st i started....

The e-mail that I post from here is good - not got any blocking things on
it.
History of stitches, naming, use - it's all interesting.

Just wanted to say that I finally found the mail which had been put in the
wrong folder by my e-mail program.
The stitching is really interesting - and the scans came out amazingly
clear. I hope that you can share them with others - I especially liked the
layered one which seems like a representation of a map. But, I also liked
the family tree one - from the representational perspective. Both showed
some really nice and intricate use of layering stitches.
Thanks again for sharing,
Ellice
