In the past week I have had not one, but three very nice reviews of my book Elegant Hardanger Embroidery sent to me. It has been lovely reading people’s comments about why they love the book so much. I wrote it 10 years ago now, which seems pretty mindboggling, actually. (I’ve been writing books for […] Thank you to all those who have commented on my idea for a beginners Hardanger booklet. It has been interesting reading why you think it would be helpful to you – such as that you’d like to use a booklet like that while travelling. This makes me think that you’d like it in a smallish […] I was talking with the ladies in my beginner’s Hardanger class yesterday about my “depressing” list of books that I have to find time to write.

I had started embroidering again after my three sons left home four years ago and had strong interests in learning Hardanger, stumpwork and goldwork. I do most of my learning and sourcing out good learning books via the net. […] The Waterlily Hardanger Stitch Along has started in my hardanger Yahoo group. Diane has posted some progress of her work so far. She is working in golden yellow thread on blue fabric – what a sunny combination! You’re making great progress, Diane. If you’d like to join in, you’d be very welcome to join us […] Sorry about the lack of communication. We went away to Canberra (Australia’s capital city) for a few days, and then I’ve been getting stuck into more embroidery for the book since my return.
