Tomorrow and Wednesday I will have the pleasure of being with the Maitland Embroiderers, teaching a couple of workshops. I spent a couple of days with them last year doing Mountmellick embroidery, and it was a wonderful time. From memory I had one of my Portuguese whitework projects with me, as my current project, and it whet their appetite. So this year, that will be the topic of our workshops. I’m also looking forward to showing them the advance copies of “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães”.
I’m working towards being organised for Beating Around the Bush, and I’ve been feeling a little bit panicky about how much I had to get done before I go. Last night though, I realised I had a whole extra week before then, that my brain had just been skipping over.
What a relief!
If any of you are in Sydney, you may be interested to know that the Remnant Warehouse in Alexandria are having a sale (25% off all fabrics) from Thursday 29th to Saturday 31st March. Might be time for me to get the next lot of leotard fabric for the young gymnast. With the cold weather coming on, she’s going to need new 3/4 sleeve leotards. Not sure that last year’s ones still fit!
I probably won’t get the chance to post tomorrow (very early start) or Wednesday, so I apologise in advance for that.
