Dear Followers,<br />
<br />
The committee has discussed the blog vs. FaceBook and concluded that our FB posts receive greater response and followings. As such we will be closing down the blog and sharing the activities of our chapter on FB only.<br />
<br />
You may visit our FB page by going to www.facebook.com/midnightoilsmockers or contacting us at midnightsmockers@gmail.com<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

Our night meeting had a wonderful program by our member Kathleen Noltensmeyer. She showed us her methods of working with sergers and overstitch machines, with her tried and true tips and techniques of sewing with knits. And she showed us the easiest way of changing the thread on the loopers. </span></h4>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">If you are a new follower of the Midnight Oil Smockers, you may not realize that we have one of the larger SAGA groups as we are based in Houston. We are very lucky to have a lot of members, we have day AND night meetings, and we all sew a lot! Sometimes we can't get all of our photos up for one blog post because we have so many. </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">So here is our continuing story....</span></i></h2>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Last week we told you about our program with the how's and why's of seam sticks, and showed you pictures of our night group with their sticks (if you missed that, check our last post). </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Of course our day group made them also, so here are a few photos of their work, because they were really "sticking" to it (sorry!):</span></h4>

We have been very busy! Marisol showed us how to construct Seam Presses this month and she promised us that this would be our favorite new ironing tool - and she was right! These work under those seams as a pressing aide so that the seam doesn't leave a mark after pressing. </h3>

<span style="text-align: left;">Linda C. a long time member of Midnight Oil Smockers, started sewing at a summer camp sponsored by the FHA (Future Homemakers of America) when she was 11 years old. Her favorite aspect of sewing is the ability to manipulate fabric to her idea of what it can become. She grew up in east Texas. Her mother, a seamstress, would sew matching petty coats for her favorite dresses.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had a busy and productive 2018! Our bi-annual fundraiser is our American Girl doll raffle. First we choose a current doll and then our members kick into gear with the most beautiful hand-made wardrobe a doll (not to mention lucky little girl!) could ever wish for. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each and we spend months selling them before our drawing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This year we chose the new native Hawaiian doll, Nanea. This doll supposedly "grew up" during World War II, so our chapter outdid themselves with dozens of outfits from the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1940s u</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">p to the present day. Members made swimsuits, hula attire, beautifully hand-smocked day and "dress-up" dresses, play-wear, hats, shoes, and even a hand-stitched quilt for her bed! As always we included a hand-made clothing rack to hold her wardrobe. The very lucky raffle winner is shown above with the fruits of our labor. We know that a very happy little girl will have true heirlooms to pass down with her doll. Below are just a few </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">photos of the stunning outfits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The proceeds of our raffle fund our chapter's Wee Care program as well as our educational classes for our members. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you missed our raffle this year, don't worry we will keep you posted on our next one!</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Every month, the Midnight Oil Smockers has a night meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, and then a day meeting on the 3rd Monday. At the February monthly night meeting, Brenda demonstrated how to sew the duplicate stitch. She even knitted the practice samples herself! Before Brenda taught the technique, our Show & Share provided time for members to look at each others' work. That is what inspires us to keep smocking and sewing and creating.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">2017 Reward Class</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Every year, MOS members earn points for things like attending a WeeCare Workshop, making WeeCare gowns, presenting programs, and making garments or donating to our bi-annual doll drawing. In January, we have a class with a national SAGA teacher as a reward to those who earned points. Those who earned a certain number pay no tuition for the class. Others with fewer points get discounted tuition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year's class was Jeannie Baumeister's Baby Emma Sweet Sleeveless Dress. It was a full house at Quiltworks, where MOS holds classes. The two-day class was full of great instruction on techniques and lots of laughter as our members gathered to hear Jeannie's contruction wisdom. A follow-up monthly meeting will showcase the finished dresses.</span><br />

Adorable! Nikki made this using Michie Mooney #138. The smocking design is her own. Her grandson wore this after his baptism when the baptismal gown came off.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the fun ways we Midnight Oil Smockers keep our skills sharp is challenges. This fall, a smocking plate, copied in black and white, was given to all our members. The challenge was simply to use the plate anyway we chose. The results were completely different, and all beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What makes a challenge challenging? Thinking through how to meet the challenge. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What makes a challenge fun? Thinking through how to meet the challenge, then acting on it. But also, seeing how incredibly diverse the different garments are.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The plate was Cheryl Lohmann's Sophie, which was published in the March/April, 2001 issue of Creative Needle.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As most of the world knows by now, the last few days of August and the first two weeks of September were pretty awful here in the greater Houston, TX area. Anyone who has lived here more than a few years is acquainted with hurricanes, and typically, we're not very scared about them. Every once in a while, though, a big one hits the city dead on, and even if you basically know what to expect, the storm turns things upside down. The aftermath of a hurricane is usually even worse. For those directly impacted through flooding, life immediately becomes overwhelming. Grief sets in, but a million action items need to be tended to. For those more fortunate, life certainly doesn't return to normal very quickly. Power is out, and perhaps water. Roads are inaccessible, and when you can leave your home, most stores and gas stations aren't open, or they have very little to purchase. Life can be summed up in one word: difficult.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But life does go back to normal, or at least a new normal, and that finally began to happen in mid-September. That's why meeting with our smocking friends seemed very important to all of us this month. We needed what we call "stitch therapy." </span><br />

Notions--from far left--a pin cushion bought on Etsy and made especially for keeping needles sharp, 3 ways to treat your floss so that it lays flat, a needle holder with wool in the bottom to protect the point of the needle, and needles that are best for picture smocking (#8 embroidery and darner, depending on whether you like a shorter needle or a longer one).<br />

Fun! Fun! Fun! Leda's Jelly-Roll Jacket was seen in an earlier post when several members made these after a class. Leda decided to order the matching dress pattern, and this is the result. Fun and adorable! Both jacket and dress pattern's are Gail Doane's. The fabric is Ruby Blake's Backyard Roses.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last month's meetings, both day and night, were full of information and fun. Attendance was excellent for both, and the programs were outstanding. There were several Sew & Share garments, some of which are posted below, and others which will be posted next week.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tawn H presented the day meetings, and not only taught everyone how to do Italian smocking, but also shared several beautiful, sweet Christmas ornaments. The Italian smocking was a little challenging, as it is quite different from English smocking, but it was fun to learn something new.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stewart W showed us how to make better plackets in garments. She had an ingenious way to show us how to do this without using a machine. She had us use paper instead of fabric, and we folded it to get the desired effect. Very creative and smart!</span></div>

See the pompoms attached to the hanger? Trena uses these to put in the bishop sleeves to help the dress keep it's shape. She made them from bathing pompoms you buy in any store that carries bathroom supplies. Ingenious!<br />

Susan made this adorable US flag with Miyuki Delica beads and square stitch. (Sorry for the orientation!) She used a pattern from LynseyJames@threadabead.com. Don't you just love it?</div>

Another of Susan's creations. She made this bookmark for her son. It is also made with Miyuki Delica beads, using the Peyote stitch. The pattern can also be found at LynseyJames@threadabead.com. That would inspire anyone to read!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Every year, the Midnight Oil Smockers have a class that is a reward for those members who have worked hard to make the SAGA chapter a success. Different efforts receive different point counts, and at the end of the year when the points are counted, those who have hit the threshold set by the board are rewarded with a free 2-day class. Others, who haven't had the opportunity to participate as fully, are rewarded with discounted tuition. Every year, the reward class teachers never fail to surprise us with their ingenuity and skills. It is always wonderful sitting under such gifted instructors.</span></div>

She taught her <i style="font-weight: bold;">Stephanie </i>pattern, a lovely dress that incorporates curved pintucks and madeira applique to twenty MOS members, who all soaked up her knowledge.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">June. While weddings do take place in every other month of the year, June is traditionally thought of as the wedding month. On this last day of June, 2017, here are some smocked takes on weddings.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Smocking can be haute couture! When a bride is fortunate enough to have an unlimited budget for her bridal gown, she might choose Ralph & Russo's Haute Couture to design and construct her dress. This smocked sleeve is from the Fall 2016 collection of the designer. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A sweet souvenir for a daughter's wedding. It's what we smockers do. See this one on Pinterest by searching Mosaic Magpie. For more info, see her blog at mosaicmagpie.blogspot.com. (There's a really interesting post about sheep-shearing time, and the process the wool goes through to be spun into thread. It has nothing to do with weddings, but it is fun to read!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">While most weddings these days don't include smocking, it's still fun to think of ways to incorporate it. Have a great summer smocking whatever brings you joy!</span><br />

This adorable outfit is "Vintage Baby Bubble" from Wendy Schoen's Petitue Poche. It is a 3-month size made from batiste-weight floral from Roberta's stash. The embroidery design, which just MAKES the outfit, is from Applique for Kids. Roberta says the machine embroidery is very easy to do.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Remember the television show "Laugh In"? If so, you're a Baby Boomer or perhaps older (or you found it on Netflix). If not, think "Saturday Night Live" with a lot more skits (and not quite as funny), but still somewhat controversial. "Sock it to me, baby!" was one of the sayings used frequently. How in the world does that apply to the May meeting of the Midnight Oil Smockers? It doesn't, but BABY SOCKS do!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This month, Karen M. shared how to smock on baby socks. This was in a 1994 issue of <i>Sew Beautiful, </i>and is surprisingly easy. Karen got everyone started, and then a lot of laughter ensued while members explored this new smocking technique and visited with one another.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">NIGHT MEETING:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the night meeting, Cathy T. shared information on how to clean a pleater, which she also shared during the day meeting in April. Cathy has a wealth of info, and everyone learned helpful hints from her. This author cleaned her pleater after Cathy's demonstration, and found that it wasn't as scary as imagined. Fortunately the pleater wasn't as dirty as imagined either, but it does pleat nicer now. Thanks again, Cathy, for helping us keep our pleaters clean and tidy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Saying Goodbye: A Tribute to Ann Nichols & Patsy Summers</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Midnight Oil Smockers lost two long-time, faithful members this year. Both had been attending meetings for as long as anyone can remember. This week before Mother's Day, we remember and honor them for their faithfulness to the Midnight Oil Smockers and the encouragement they gave us all.</span></span><br />

<br />
Ann was born<span style="text-align: center;"> in Charleston, West Virginia. She was the seventh child in her family, and the first of the children to graduate from high school. She married Herbert Lynn Rutledge on January 5, 1940 in Greenup, Kentucky. She and Herbert were the parents of 3 daughters: Mildred, Mary (also a member of MOS) and Evelyn. Herbert died in 1979, and Ann moved to Richmond, Texas. There she met William Henry "Bill" Nichols and they were married in 1983. Ann loved to smock, sew and quilt. Many of her creations, including the ones pictured below, were made for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Besides her daughters, she leaves behind 13 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 21 great-great-grandchildren!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Daughter Millie tells a great story about Ann when she was a young girl. She wanted a red dress in the worst way. Her father was a carpenter, but times were hard so the family didn't have much money. Getting the dress of her dreams wasn't very likely. Somehow, someway, her parents managed to get her the new dress she wanted; however, it wasn't red. Ann took care of that! She went into the basement where her father kept the tools of his trade. She found a can of red paint and painted the dress red. Problem solved! Dream realized!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Ann and her daughter Mary often made MOS members laugh at meetings. They were totally themselves, and fussed or teased each other, often surprising visitors who didn't know they were related. Not only was Ann Mary's mother, but she was also her best friend, and seeing their relationship each month was delightful. Ann mothered many of us and made us feel so special. She always made us feel our work was the best, even if we didn't think that ourselves. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Her sweet smile and encouraging words are definitely missed.</span><br />

Patsy was born in Baytown, Texas. She married William Alton (Bill) Summers on August 7, 1959 soon after graduating from high school. She then followed Bill to Austin, Texas where he was finishing his degree in Petroleum Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. She began her college education there as well, but that education was interrupted when Patsy found out she was pregnant and when Bill accepted a job with Texaco in Liberty, Texas. In December of 1960, Patsy began her career as a a mother with the birth of Arlene Kay. Her family grew with Valerie Fay, who was born in 1962, and again in 1965 with Kelly Doyle. Patsy loved her children and grandchildren unconditionally, and as any of her friends would attest, Patsy did not hesitate to share her children's and grandchildren's stories with anyone who would listen.<br />
<br />
When Arlene was born, Patsy began sewing clothes for her. Patsy studied patterns, talked with other seamstresses, and began to build her collection of patterns, material, and notions, as well as machines. She loved learning more and more about sewing--learning how to make men's suits, how to sew boat cushions to save money for her husband's hobby , and when she became a grandmother, how to smock. She joined the Midnight Oil Smockers chapter of the Smocking Arts Guild of America, and was a very faithful member. She attended every meeting she could, until her health would not allow her to do so any more.<br />
<br />
Patsy was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, William Alton (Bill) Summers, Jr. and her parents, James Harvey Taylor, Jr. and Brooksie Janice McElroy Taylor. Survivors include daughter Arlene Meyer and her husband Chris Meyer and their children Lauren, Andrew and Scott; daughter Valerie Taylor and her husband Kerry Taylor and sons Brian and Sean; son Kelly and his children Travis and Erika; and her cousin Kelly Charles Mudd.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Midnight Oil Smockers offer their sincere condolences to the families of these two ladies. They made our members, and our chapter overall, much better. We are thankful for the chance to know and experience life with them.</span>MidnightOilSmockershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12314288530696646324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221618241815331973.post-40985401715505304612017-05-01T20:11:00.000-07:002017-05-01T20:11:27.096-07:00MAY 5: A CINCO DE MAYO SALUTE<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Trisha Smith <span style="font-size: large;">came to town and taught the MOS smockers in attendance at Quiltworks how to make her Peg Pocket dress. We had a great time working together under her tutelage.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">(On the Friday before (1/27/17), she taught several members using her Poet's Blouse pattern.)</span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once class was over, the challenge was to finish the dress and bring it to the April meeting. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Several class attendees met up at Quiltworks later to work on the dress together. Sewing is fun, but it's even better with friends!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No April Showers for MOS this month.......but we did learn a pretty cool power: how to clean our pleaters!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cathy T. did a great job of explaining how to clean these machines. Pleaters make smocking an acc</span><span style="font-size: large;">omplishable task, so everyone in MOS has one (I think). Almost none of us, most who have been smocking for over 20 years, had ever taken our pleater apart and cleaned it. Many of us didn't know you were supposed to do that. (And I promise we're fairly intelligent people!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's why Cathy's demonstration was so helpful. It was information about something we all assumed we knew fairly well, but didn't know as much as we thought! While MOS meetings are always fun and informative, this one was surprisingly so. Thanks again, Cathy, for teaching us and answering all of our questions. We now are a clean-pleating group!</span></div>

Roberta's first grandchild, obviously a girl, is definitely one well-dressed young lady! Roberta used Old Fashioned Baby's "Emma" pattern and this beautiful Liberty "Rosa" fabric to make this dress. Roberta used entredeux and lace in place of a collar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bloomers are from <u>Grandmother's Hope Chest</u> by Martha Pullen, and she thinks this pattern is the best in terms of fit for a baby.</div>
