Over the last few days I have been working on some class preparation for my suzani cushion class to be run at the Berrima Patchwork Quilting in the Highlands Retreat later this year. It has been quite enjoyable to do a little stitching and playing with colours. I had completed one of the colour […] On Friday I finally finished all five projects, their associated paperwork and photographs, and sent them off to Country Bumpkin as submissions for Beating Around the Bush 2014. I have no idea when I might hear back from them. My guess is that it could be some months. They will have a lot to […] I’m moving along with my five class submission projects. I have now completed four of them and am well into the fifth. I am very pleased with my progress and feel sure that it will all be submitted in time. I’ve been enjoying stitching each day, and think it would be lovely to be that […] After having a week of feeling like I was achieving not very much except driving my kids everywhere (how many of us know that feeling, whether now or in the dim dark past?!) yesterday I had a big win, completing yet another of my five projects. This one is an Elizabethan style embroidery, with beautiful […] On Friday night I finished the second of my five projects which I am working on as class submissions. I damp stretched it (instructions for this can be found in my book Portuguese Whitework) and it came up looking so lovely and crisp. I love damp stretching! I then continued with the other project which […] I spent much of the day yesterday stitching, stitching, stitching. I am madly working on class submissions. I have five to do. Two are partially done, one is finished and the other are still in the thought process. Some are styles I have taught before, and others are new to me as class subjects. It […] Now that I’m back home, around all the other work I have to do and personal commitments, I’m squeezing in working on my submissions for next year’s Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide. I have lots of varied ideas, and I’d love for them all to go ahead, but unfortunately they won’t because […] When I went away overnight the other day, I suggested that I would get about 1.5 hours of stitching time each way, there and back. I calculated wrongly – actually it was more like 2.5 hours each way! However, due to the fact that I kept making mistakes, I didn’t end up having very much […] I spent parts of the weekend doing some new stitching. It is a style I am exploring as a possible book subject. I am loving every minute of working it! Of course, I am not going to tell you what it is any time soon (I’ll be keeping that particular cat in the bag for […] I had a wonderful day yesterday teaching Mountmellick embroidery to a group of lovely ladies at Hobbysew, Penrith. We did the small honeysuckle doily from our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature. They did a great job, and some were very vocal about how much they were learning and enjoying the class.
