Last Thursday the lovely people at Inspirations magazine posted a picture on Facebook and Pinterest of Hardanger that I taught in a class back in 2010. The picture linked to the blog post about the class that I was going to be teaching at The Crewel Gobelin (way back in June 2010 when the shop was under the previous ownership).
I thanked them on the Inspirations page for posting the picture of my work, and got on with my day.
Part way through the morning I received a phone call from Julie at The Crewel Gobelin. “I’ve just had a phone call from a lady wanting to book into a Hardanger class with you, but we haven’t organised one.”
I explained to her about the picture on Facebook and that it was getting interest there too. We decided to reschedule the class! Julie and I are just working on the final details, but as soon as that’s done, we’ll let you know. Certainly, you are welcome to contact her to express interest in the class. I will announce the details of the class here on the blog and on my website when they are available.
There were many people who expressed an interest in purchasing the pattern so that they could make it themselves. In the days since, I have reformatted the step-by-step instructions into my pattern format. The pattern for the Blue Green Beginners Hardanger Panel is now available. It comes with detailed step-by-step instructions with diagrams (snippet shown below) that will take you by the hand and teach you the beautiful art of Hardanger embroidery.
Purchase your own copy of the pattern for the Blue Green Beginners Hardanger Panel today! I have a large pile of them here, ready to be popped into the mail to you!
Anyone new to Hardanger would love that design, covers so much and so pretty. May I ask what the variegated thicker Perle is?
cheers
Julie
