This afternoon I am heading to Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework embroidery at the guild group there.
Yesterday I loaded a whole heap of pictures that I took when we were visiting Guimaraes (sorry, I have no idea how to put the little wiggly thing above the second A when I am using my phone!) on to my laptop, so that I can show the students what I saw at the museum there and at the workshop where they create embroideries for sale. I really enjoyed looking at all the pictures again, so I hope they do too.
Next week I hope to get stuck back into the app again. It is slowly making progress. Slowly…
This morning I did hope to take a photo of the Mountmellick embroidery that I bought last week at the antique shop in Hobart, but I ran out of time. Next week!

Hello Yvette,
Do you have any teaching trips planned to the United States in the next couple of years?

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your comment. Because of visa restrictions, my understanding is that I can’t actually teach in the US without having my visit sponsored by some people who choose to invite me to teach there. I would need to be invited and sponsored by an organisation such as a guild group or a shop. As yet, I haven’t been invited, so no, unfortunately I do not have any teaching trips planned. I’d love to, but at this stage there are no plans to do so. Sorry to disappoint. 🙁
