Today I’m in Hobart, ready to start a Mountmellick class at A Stitch in Time. I met Mary-Anne, the owner, for the first time yesterday and she is lovely. This will be a fun few days, I’m sure.
When I was at Springwood on Monday we were discussing my unusual and difficult stitches class that I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush next year. As you must have noticed by now, I love using and playing with stitches. One of the students related to me a conversation she’d had with an embroidery teacher who questioned why she would want a book showing more embroidery stitches, as this particular teacher only ever uses less than ten…
Oh to be so easily satisfied! I need more variety in my life than that! Each to their own, I guess.
So, anyway, today we will have fun experimenting with stitches and stitch variations. Its a small class so I imagine we’ll get lots done.

Only ten stitches – where’s their sense of adventure?
