Newish show products

There are a few of other things that I’ll have at this year’s Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair that I’ve added to the Vetty Creations product range in the last year, since the previous craft show. You’ll be able to see and touch them for the first time. Seeing in real life is a little different to seeing on a screen! And we all know that textiley people often like to see and touch – we’re visual, tactile people!

And of course, if you’re unable to make it to the show, you can order these products through the website, as always!

Hvitsøm pendant kits

Hvitsøm means “whitework” in Norway. It looks a little like Hardanger embroidery, but without the cutwork. This pretty little Hvitsøm pendant kit contains all you need to make your own beautiful hvitsøm pendant, including comprehensive step-by-step instructions. Buy it at the show, or order yours here.

Dovo Hardanger scissors

Dovo Hardanger scissors are simply gorgeous to use. Using them is like cutting butter, they’re so lovely and so smooth. They have been designed specifically for Hardanger, in that their points are very pointy and very sharp. It means you can get in close and cut threads without leaving whiskers. Of course, you can use them for any sort of embroidery – it doesn’t have to be Hardanger! Buy a pair at the show, or order your own Dovo Hardanger scissors here.

Vaupel and Heilenbeck Linen banding

In preparing my stock list for the show (basing it on last year’s list) I realised that last year I only had one type of Vaupel and Heilenbeck linen banding available. Well, I’ve added more since then! I’m excited to show these gorgeous 28 count linen bandings to you. People often ask “what can I use them for?” You can use them for anything you like, but some suggestions are bookmarks, needlecases, potpourri sachets, curtain tie-backs, or an embroidered band across a skirt, bag, book or cushion. Does that help?! Purchase linen banding at the show, or you can order some here.

Weddigen linens

It was a total surprise to me to realise that I didn’t have the lovely Weddigen linens at last year’s craft show. I will this time! There is a range of linens, from 34 count, 40 count, and two types of 50 count linen (one is gauzy and see-through, the other is not). These fabrics are suitable for counted embroidery of many kinds, and non-counted embroidery too. For example, the 34 count is often recommended for Schwalm embroidery, and the gauzy 50 count linen is perfect for shadow embroidery. Buy these linens at the show, or purchase online here.

So, if you can, please visit me at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. I’ll be at Vetty Creations Stand D06, at the International Convention Centre, Sydney. 22nd-25th June 2017, 9am-4:30pm daily.

To find me, enter through the front entrance, turn left, head to Aisle D, then I’ll be the second stand on the right. I’ll have an orange flag flying above the stand to help you find me. I’ve expertly marked my position on the map below.
