Great class at the NSW guild

On Saturday I taught Portuguese Whitework at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. I had a lovely day with a lovely group of women. They were very accomplished stitchers and produced great results.

Personally, I was extremely pleased that after a week where my health had been up and down and all over the place, I had a FULL DAY of good health. It meant I was not troubled with any pain for the whole day, and meant that I felt pretty normal! I was so thankful to God that He provided me with good health on the day I really needed it. 🙂

During the day, we were discussing the fabric we were using (Graziano Pronto Ricamo) and several of the students reported that they found it easier to pull threads out in one direction than the other. In one direction they seemed to shred more. We eventually decided that it was the warp threads that fell apart more as they were withdrawn. Of course, there’s nothing we can do about it, but it was interesting to note.

If you missed out on this class because it was already fully booked (apparently it filled quite quickly!) I will be teaching another Portuguese Whitework class at the guild over two Saturdays in April/May next year.
