Yesterday, after going to the earlier service at our church we drove down to the Southern Highlands. Arriving about lunch time, we decided that Bowral might be the best place to have some lunch. You may know that some in our family have food issues, primarily dairy allergy and gluten intolerance. There are other foods […] A couple of day ago I received Sandra Leichner’s online newsletter update, an account of her time in Australia at Quilting in the Highlands. Sandra was one of the US teachers who joined us. You might enjoy reading her account. Michele Hill (of William Morris quilting fame) was one of the students in my […] I shared this picture yesterday on the Vetty Creations Facebook page. Most mornings I go for a walk through this bushland park before I get stuck into my work for the day. I find that it helps to clear my mind and get the blood circulating through my body. The days when I do not […] Yesterday I received a photo from Ruth, who was one of the students in my classes on the needlework cruise that I taught on in February this year. Ruth took my Mountmellick class and my Portuguese Whitework Panel class. From the photo (which Ruth has given permission for me to share), you can see […] I’m currently down in the Southern Highlands at the Berrima Patchwork “Quilting in the Highlands Retreat”. I’ve finished the first of my classes, which was the Mountmellick class, and I had a wonderful time. I also believe that the students greatly enjoyed themselves. Last night we had a trivia night, which was great fun. […] This weekend (and Monday and Tuesday) I will be teaching at Berrima Patchwork’s Quilting in the Highlands Retreat at Mittagong. Mittagong is in the Southern Highlands, south of Sydney. At this time of year, it is COLD down there. (Well, cold for us, not for people who regularly have snowy winters!) I’m planning to stay […] Today I’m of to Wollongong to teach Portuguese Whitework to the guild group there. I’m sure we will have a lovely day sharing stitching and each other’s company. We’ll be making the hanging ornaments from my book “Portuguese Whitework”. Not all five though – just one each! I have some stitching with me to do […] On Tuesday and Wednesday Singleton Embroiderers Guild group welcomed me back to teach Portuguese Whitework. A couple of years ago I did a Mountmellick workshop with them, which they greatly enjoyed. It was lovely to see several of the completed projects which they proudly brought along to show me! Our Portuguese Whitework class got off […] Sorry for my silence lately. I have been rather snowed under with preparation for classes of all kinds (ones I am teaching and ones I am learning from!) and travel. I have to start preparing for the upcoming Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair too, because that is fast bearing down upon me! When you wake […] 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 […] |
