I have been taking quite a number of bookings for classes for next year. I teach Hardanger, Merezhka (Ukrainian drawn thread work), and Mountmellick embroidery. I am also currently devising some classes based on teaching and experimenting with unusual and difficult stitches. I am an accredited tutor with the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild.
If you would like me to come and teach at your shop, or your group, please enquire soon, as class opportunities are filling fast. Having a young family, I do limit my teaching each year so that I am not away from them too often, so you’d better get in quick!
If you are a shop, where possible I work with products you already stock, so that you can move whatever you already have. If you are a guild or community group, I can usually provide kits so that participants do not have to worry about sourcing strange or unusual supplies!

Hello Yvette. I’ve started with the leaves and now I’m ready for the lily centre. The stem stitch went fine.
The bullions are not, I’ve tried them first on my sampler and they where oke but when I work with the real thing its
a mesh.Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Its a pitty but I don’t have a place to let you see them. I’ve removed them and are trying to do them again. I love this SAL even I’ve just started it. Many greetings Hanneke
Hi Hanneke, so glad that you are enjoying the stitch along! As for your bullions, I did a series of tips on bullions earlier this year. You may find it helpful.
