I’m back from Maitland and had a wonderful time! The two classes that I ran on Portuguese Whitework went really well, and I’m pretty sure the students enjoyed them greatly. I have never met a group of more attentive hosts. They were so welcoming and so accommodating of my needs. Many took part in organising […] Tomorrow and Wednesday I will have the pleasure of being with the Maitland Embroiderers, teaching a couple of workshops. I spent a couple of days with them last year doing Mountmellick embroidery, and it was a wonderful time. From memory I had one of my Portuguese whitework projects with me, as my current project, and […] Yesterday I received a whole pile of brochures for the needlework cruise that I’ll be teaching on in February next year. As I’ve never been on a cruise before, it was a bit of an eye opener to realise the strange and unusual activities that will be available to me when I am not teaching. […] We’re getting a lot closer to Country Bumpkin’s needlework conference, Beating Around the Bush, which runs from Saturday 14th April to Friday 20th April, in Adelaide. I’ll be attending Beating Around the Bush as a teacher, and also as an exhibitor at their Village Fair. Sadly, two of my classes will not be running, but […] A few weeks ago I tantalisingly dropped it into one of my posts that I had been invited to teach on a needlework cruise early next year. I am now allowed to spill the beans on that one! From February 10th next year, I will be teaching Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick Embroidery on a cruise […] I spent yesterday almost entirely working on a Mountmellick project for The Cruise (of which I cannot yet tell you any more). It was quite lovely to spend the day doing that. It feels like quite some time since I have done a new Mountmellick project! Its been lovely to be playing with stitch combinations […] Over the last few days I feel like I’ve been doing a bit of everything! Last Thursday, when I was at the Powerhouse Museum with Lisa the colour proofs of my book arrived. I’ve spent the last few days checking them, finding more mistakes (most of which were my doing!) and fixing the mistakes. When […] The third class that I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush is a Mountmellick embroidery class. Mountmellick lily cushion With Yvette Stanton Thursday April 19 and Friday April 20, 2012 Learn to work beautiful traditional whitework embroidery from Mountmellick in Ireland. Mountmellick embroidery is highly textured embroidery featuring many knotted and padded stitches. […] The second class that I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush is a Portuguese Whitework Handtowel. Portuguese Whitework Handtowel With Yvette Stanton Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th April 2012 From my upcoming book “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães” comes this exquisite whitework handtowel, featuring a style of embroidery from Guimarães in the […] Last night we took our girls out for a huge treat (a treat for us too!). We went to see Opera Australia’s production of The Magic Flute at the Sydney Opera House. It was amazing! As you can expect, apart from the opera itself, I was transfixed by the costumes. Wow! Full of colour, shapes […] |
