Monday - SCA scheduling post

As most readers know, it is the Society for Creative Anachronism which took my early love of embroidery, sewing and "all things fiber" to the study of historic "things fiber."  Here are a number of events at which I will be playing with fibery goodness.  For those not in the SCA, we love newcomers.  If you've never been to an SCA event and would like to come to one of these (or another one), contact me ahead and we'll make sure you know what to expect....

June will be busy for me.  The first weekend will be attendance at an event called "Artisans' Village"  This is an all arts event with a number of areas devoted to different arts that people work on.  I'm coordinating the fiber "village" (and if you're attending and would like to help out with that, let me know).  I plan to have my big Bayeux Tapestry inspired piece to work on, plus some teaching materials for impromptu stitch teaching.

The next weekend is a big Kingdom-wide event.  (Kingdoms are our larger regions, we are in the Kingdom of the East.)  Southern Region War Camp features just about everything people in the SCA do -- fighting, archery, thrown weapons, and arts displays.  My husband is slated to help with the lunch board, and I will probably be wandering around with friends watching activities, shopping (did I mention shopping?), and probably settling down somewhere for some companionable stitching.  I'll have along a smaller project for that event.   I will be attending only Saturday for this event. because the next day I will be teaching embroidery at a demo. 

 

Then, the following weekend I'll be at another smaller, focused event, A Day in the Solar.   This event will be focused on helping people get ready for the very very big 2 week long event, Pennsic.  I will once again have my large piece with me, and I will also have the German Brick Stitch teaching box. 

After that I get a bit of a break.  I don't actually attend Pennsic, and there is not much else on my calendar for the summer other than stitching every chance I get. Come September I'll be back in the event cycle again, with two in September. "Watch this space" for an official announcement about one of those.

So, now back to some stitching, and some research.  Hope I get to see you at one or more of these events, and you can count on "event reports" afterwards. 

Meanwhile, here is a gratuitous photo of our new kitten... Doing all this fiber craft will be great fun with him around, I'm sure :)
