After posting details of my new pattern yesterday, I received an email from one of my lovely readers asking if I would consider supplying my patterns digitally as PDFs. My heart sank. Believe me, it would be so much easier if I could offer patterns digitally – fewer trees used to print on, faster delivery, […]

Today I will be sending files off for the next reprint of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. Now that I have my new logo, I will slowly be able to change over instances of the old logo. A new book reprint is one example of where it can now be implemented. As time goes on, I […] As I mentioned recently, I’ve spent a bit of time lately working on a new Vetty Creations logo. It’s not that I didn’t like the old one, it’s that the old one doesn’t work very well in a digital environment. When I designed it, the digital environment wasn’t really important! I had worked on it […] On day 1 of this series we looked at the definition of evenweave. Yesterday, on day 2, we looked at the four 38 count linens with which I am familiar, and whether they are really evenweave. Today we’re going to look at what to do if you have the linen for your Portuguese Whitework project […] I saw a Venn diagram on Facebook yesterday that had three circles along the lines of “stuff you like doing”, “stuff you are good at”, and “stuff people will pay you to do”.

I have been very busy whipping up a couple of projects for… (drum roll) The Berrima Patchwork “Quilting in the Highlands” Retreat for 2013! About two weeks ago, late one evening, I received an email from Tamsin and Sue at Berrima Patchwork, inviting me to teach at their quilting […] I had a lovely day working with fabric and threads yesterday. So many gorgeous colours. I took my fabrics to a local shop to buy threads to go with them. I have a little app in my phone where I have all the embroidery threads that I own listed. It means that I can […] Yesterday I spent a few very enjoyable hours choosing colour schemes and patchwork fabrics for a class project. The first colour scheme wasn’t too hard, as I had already planned it out. It was simply a matter of finding fabrics with those colours. The second colour scheme was much harder, as I had not properly […] If you haven’t seen Design Seeds, you need to go and have a look. If you’ve ever wondered how to create beautiful colour schemes, Design Seeds shows a great way to do it. You can use one of the palettes they suggest, or use images and the world around you to create your own. When […] The other day I was honoured to received an invitation to teach at a new (for me) venue. They’re asking for something a little different than what I would normally teach, and so I am delighted to consider some new design possibilities. As Sir Humphrey Appleby (or was it Bernard Woolley?) would say, “in the […] |
