Keynote address
presented by Maîtresse Marguerite d'Honfleur
Italian liturgical vestments of the 15th and 16th centuries are an amazing source of high-quality textiles. One such vestment is the paliotto of Sixtus IV. A paliotto is a type of altar cloth. This particular one was donated in the late 1470s by Pope Sixtus IV to the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. Yes, that’s the same Assisi as our event’s Saint Clare and she even appears in this precious vestment. In 1985, this paliotto was restored, enabling textile experts and scientists to study it in detail. Using the beautiful close-up photos taken during the restoration, this talk will show you the embroidery stitches used in the paliotto of Sixtus IV.
Classes
We still have room for a few short (1- or 2-hour) classes on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Boy Scout Camp Karoondinha is located on the side of a mountain. Cell phone service can be spotty, depending on one's carrier.All buildings will have designated “Parking Placard” spaces in front. The Dining Hall has grade-level doors on the right-hand side (facing the front of the building) and at the rear of the building.
The roads and paths are gravel, not paved, which can make getting about difficult. Some walking/driving will be required, as the buildings we will be using are not near each other.
If you have mobility concerns, please request a Parking Placard when you send in your event registration payment.
Lodging
Sleeping cabins are heated, have electricity, and have a kitchenette.The cabins’ dormitory-style rooms sleep 16 to 30 people. The double-decker bunk beds have mattresses, but overnight guests should bring bedding (pillow, sleeping bag/sheets and blankets) and towels.
We recommend wearing earplugs if you are a light sleeper!
Edna Sheary Lodge is accessible to those with mobility restrictions (ramps lead from the parking lot to the cabin door) and has electric heat and indoor bathrooms (sinks, toilets, showers). There are 16 double-decker bunk beds (total) in 2 sleeping areas, making these rooms feel a bit crowded. Edna Sheary Lodge also has a gathering room; this will be used for a Kit Class on Saturday afternoon.NOTE: The bathrooms and showers in Edna Sheary Lodge are for everyone’s use, not just those bunking there.
Kirby and Harris Cabins each have 15 double-decker bunk beds in one large dormitory-style room; the sleeping areas are more spacious than Edna Sheary Lodge. NOTE: These cabins do NOT have indoor bathrooms; however, flush toilets are located in a nearby building.
NOTE: Bunk spaces are filled on a first-paid, first-served basis.
- Need a bottom bunk? Please register early and request one with your event registration payment.
- Need a bunk with access to electricity? Request a bottom bunk near an outlet. Please register even earlier!
- Want to be in the cabin with indoor bathrooms? Request an UPPER bunk in Sheary Lodge. Please register earliest! (NOTE: At this time, all LOWER bunks in Edna Sheary have been assigned. We have started a waiting list in case there are cancellations. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please mention this when you pay your event registration.)
Parking
All buildings will have designated parking spaces for those with mobility concerns. Please do not park in these spaces unless you have a Parking Placard. If you have mobility concerns, please request a Parking Placard when you pay your event registration.
Guests may park in front of their sleeping cabin rather than parking in the lot at the bottom of the hill. (Ignore the sign!)
One parking space facing Edna Sheary Lodge (the cabin with showers) will be marked "Visitor." This is so folks in other cabins who drive to there to shower will have a place to park temporarily.
Meals
Hot beverages (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.) and sweets will be available throughout the weekend at our celebrated Hospitality Table.
Meals will be provided by members of Abhainn Ciach Ghlais’s Guild of St. Lawrence:
Saturday Breakfast: Oatmeal (GF available on request) & fixin's bar, yogurt & fruit, hard-boiled eggs, hot tea, coffee
Saturday Lunch (served buffet style): TBD

Sunday Breakfast: Breakfast casseroles (eggs, milk, cheese, and hash brown potatoes; pork sausage in one; spinach in the other) and oatmeal (GF available on request)
Food Allergies/Concerns
Please mention any food allergies/concerns with your reservation so our cooks can do their best to accommodate your special needs.
If your dietary concerns are such that it would be safer/preferable for you to bring and prepare your own food, please contact the Autocrat in advance. (We don’t want to exclude anyone due to food issues!)
What to Bring
Personal Comfort: A (comfy) folding chair would be a good idea for those whose backs (and bums) are not happy sitting on hard plastic chairs for long periods of time. Overnighters should bring bedding (pillow, sleeping bag/sheets and blankets), towels, and, of course, your preferred comfort creature!
Embroidery Supplies: Bring scissors, an embroidery hoop, and (if possible) your favorite lamp/lighting device with extension cords.
Display Items: Please bring items for the Embroidery Display and to share during Show-n-Tell.
Reference Library: We invite all attending to bring relevant books from their personal libraries to contribute to the event reference library. The library will be staffed, and books will not leave the library area.
Silent Auction: Donations gratefully accepted! (See below.) Also, bring cash because you are bound to find something you must have!
And What NOT to Bring
DO NOT bring alcohol, as the Boy Scouts have a strict “no alcohol” policy for those who use the camp. If we find that you have alcohol, you will be asked to leave the site with no refund.
Nor do they permit pets on site or smoking in any of the buildings.
Please do not jeopardize our future use of the site by violating their policies.
Silent Auction
Do you have no-longer-wanted embroidery-type items that you'd be happy to send home with someone else? Maybe hoops, or leftover linen, or floss from an old project, or books ... ???
Help defray travel expenses for our teachers by donating a SCAdianly-useful item to the Silent Auction. All proceeds from the Silent Auction will be split among the teachers.
