A couple of weeks ago I had a phone call from a lovely lady in New Zealand. “So, because you’re not going to London, would you come to teach us instead?” Apparently they were all sitting around in their embroidery group discussing things and they decided there was nothing to be lost from asking me […] It looks like I’ll be doing a teaching trip to Tasmania and Victoria next year, in April-May. I’ve had a few enquiries from people in the Gippsland region of Victoria in the past little while. There doesn’t seem to be an embroiderers guild group in that region, so there’s no point in me approaching them. […] You’ve probably gathered that I’ve been feeling sorry for myself about my World Needlework Convention classes not going ahead. I wanted to teach at it. I wanted to be part of it. Whilst buried in the all-consuming process of writing my book, I helped promote the event and my classes. People assumed that my […] Many years ago, an organiser of a yearly needlework teaching event said to me, “We can’t sell whitework classes.” Historically, they hadn’t had much success in getting people to choose whitework classes from amongst their class selections.

My new products from the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair have now been uploaded to the Vetty Creations website as well. If you’re […] I have many of my stitched projects on display at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair this week.

Introducing the Parterre Hardanger Stitching Accessories Set, which I will teach in […] I had a Frisian Whitework class here on the weekend. I realised that some people don’t know one of the tricks that happens with some thread spools, so in this video, I show you that. I also give you a small preview of some new Sotema linen I’ll have for sale at the upcoming Sydney […] I have two upcoming workshops – a one day one, and a two day one – both in my local region. Frisian Whitework Tree of Life Workshop with Yvette Stanton 28-29th May, 2022 Walcha Handmade, Walcha NSW Australia Frisian whitework, which comes from Friesland in the Netherlands, is counted embroidery, where the placement of […] I’ve scheduled two classes during May, here in Walcha (NSW, Australia). I’m sorry that makes them inaccessible to people who are a long way away (like outside Australia). Certainly within Australia, all borders are finally open now, which is great! Whenever I post about classes, people lament the fact that they are in-person, and that […] In today’s episode of White Threads FlossTube, I let you know that I’ll be having a stand to sell my wares at the Australasian Embroidery Convention in Brisbane NEXT WEEK! It’ll be at the Brisbane Convention Centre, from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th. The Vetty Creations stand will be B26. It’s a large stand, so […] |
