White Threads FlossTube #78 – Bullion knot tutorial

Today on White Threads FlossTube I have a bullion knot tutorial for you. I show you how to make beautiful bullion stitches using a method that many of my students find works for them, particularly when they’ve never successfully made bullions before. I also demonstrate how to resurrect a bullion that went haywire, what […]

Embroidery workshops in Walcha

I’m thinking of running some embroidery workshops here in Walcha (the little town where I live in rural NSW). Probably two day classes. If Walcha is within reach for you (it’s about 5.5 hours driving from Sydney and about 6.5 hours from Brisbane), would weekdays be better for you or weekends?

I have said to […]

When you […]

Classes with Yvette Stanton in 2020 and 2021

I’ve recently had a few enquiries about whether I could teach for a particular embroiderers guild group this year.

I love teaching embroidery. However, I don’t teach a great deal because of my commitment to my family, so my calendar fills up very quickly with teaching engagements. If you contact me at the beginning […]

My class at EGA 2019 Seminar

I don’t think I’ve mentioned here yet that I’ll be teaching at the EGA (Embroiderers Guild of America) 2019 Seminar. This is more than a little bit exciting for me, as it’s the first time I’ll be teaching in the USA! The seminar will be held from October 30 to November 3, 2019 in St. […]

From 2017 to 2018

One of the Facebook groups I belong to has asked people to share what they’ve stitched this year. I’ve stitched heaps and most of it will be going into “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway”, so I’m not willing to show it all to you just yet.

However, the biggest thing I’ve stitched this year was […]

I’ll be cruising again next year

In April/May next year I’ll be tutoring on the Craft Creations Cruise, from Sydney via the South Pacific and Hawaii, to Seattle. I’ve done a couple of cruises with Needlework Tours and Cruises before, as a tutor, and they are always most enjoyable.

I’ll be teaching three projects: Early Style Hardanger Biscornu, […]
