I had shipped across two boxes of books and took a suitcase full of other stock, and samples to display on the wall. It meant that my […] I will be away from tomorrow (Tuesday) until Saturday, at Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide. I will not be able to attend to any orders or enquiries during this time. I will get to them on my return. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Launching my book at […] I’ve been asked to consider presenting a class on photographing needlework for tutors at our guild. In time, I think it could also be presented to guild members. If you were to do a class like this, what would you like it to cover?

This will be one of the very first opportunities to learn Sardinian knotted embroidery from […] At the end of September and beginning of October, I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide, Australia. This is always a fabulous conference, with lots of wonderful tutors, students and classes. This year I will be teaching the following classes: Portuguese Whitework Bookmark – Sunday 28th September, 2014 […] I’ve just spent the morning updating the classes page on my website. These are all the classes that are currently finalised for 2014 and 2015. There’s a great mix of new projects and old favourites. Take a look and see which ones you’d like to join me for. By clicking on the images below, you’ll […] I just wanted to let you know that I’m still here and working very hard! I’ve been stitching, photographing, writing, designing and illustrating. I’m getting quite close to having a book cover ready to show you, which is very exciting. So, soon you will know something of what it is that I have been beavering […] |
