I haunt Pinterest a bit. I see a lot on Pinterest that interests me and inspires me. Unfortunately I also see a lot that I don’t like. You see, I keep seeing embroidery patterns and charts on Pinterest. I think it goes a lot like this: You’re browsing Pinterest and you see that someone has […] Today I have the pleasure of showing you the first image of a new set of products I’ll be unveiling at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at White Bay in June. I’ve been working on these little pendants for a little while now, following the success of the pendant project in “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: […] If you were going to do a counted embroidery project using a number of needlepoint stitches (on evenweave fabric rather than canvas) would you like 1. step-by-step stitch instructions with diagrams that explain the steps how to do the stitch, and a chart to follow so you know where to put these stitches […] 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.

This is the 20th anniversary of Inspirations magazine, and to celebrate they have 15 projects all by Australian designers, one of whom is me! My project is a little biscornu, featuring Mountmellick embroidery. It was […] I finished my jacket last Sunday, and last night my husband provided the opportunity to wear it.
