On Saturday I taught Portuguese Whitework at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. I had a lovely day with a lovely group of women. They were very accomplished stitchers and produced great results. Personally, I was extremely pleased that after a week where my health had been up and down and all over the place, I had […] Sorry, I haven’t had much to say lately. I’ve been relearning/remembering how to manage the pain of CFS. It is best to just keep really warm – that keeps the pain at bay. When I am warm, the pain is just a small undercurrent. When I am not warm enough, it becomes an interrupter. Most […] I heard from the needlework cruise organisers on the weekend. Enrolments in my classes are going very nicely, and it looks like the classes will be reasonably evenly split between Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick embroidery. I’ll be teaching a two day Mountmellick class (pomegranate oval doily), and two one day Portuguese Whitework classes (a bookmark, […] On Saturday at lunch time, during my class at Coffs Harbour, some of the ladies were talking about a 3 dimensional needlelace ship that one of them had made. It sounded quite intriguing. At lunch the next day, Robyne brought out her ship. It was simply amazing! Robyne Bunter's incredible needlelace ship There […] Last night I arrived home from a really enjoyable weekend in Coffs Harbour. I love going out to country guild groups to teach, as you’re always so very appreciated there! We did the Portuguese Whitework panel from my book (p14) in a relaxed two day class. I started off by showing them a slideshow of […] This afternoon I am heading to Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework embroidery at the guild group there. Yesterday I loaded a whole heap of pictures that I took when we were visiting Guimaraes (sorry, I have no idea how to put the little wiggly […] Tomorrow and Sunday I will be teaching a Portuguese whitework class at A Stitch in Time, here in Hobart. I’ve actually been here a few days now, and have enjoyed some of the sights. Yesterday I had the delight of finding an “Edwardian carver cloth” in an antique shop. Despite the guy who sold it […] Last week’s very interesting to write series on 38 count linen and whether it is evenweave or not, came about from questions that were emailed to me. I figured that if two people were asking such similar questions, then others might want to know the answers also. If you have questions for me, please do […] I spent much of yesterday updating the class page on my website. It is fully updated now, with all the details that I have so far. There is a visual listing of all the projects, so you can see all the photos together, and a calendar listing so that you can see what will be […] I’m sorry for my silence lately. 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 […] |
