Well, the big news of the day is that the brochure for the 2014 Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide has been released to those who had signed up for information via the Country Bumpkin website. I can’t find a direct link for the brochure on the Country Bumpkin website, but you could […] On Sunday I’ll be teaching a one day Mountmellick class for the NSW smocking guild. The class is apparently much-anticipated, with the class bookings having filled very quickly. I’m sure we’ll have a great day together. Today I will spend the day preparing the class kits. We’ll be working on the honeysuckle doily from Mountmellick […] Yesterday I received a message from my US distributor with a link to a Facebook group. In that group a member, Arlene, had posted a photo of the Portuguese Whitework sampler from my book Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Arlene has done a magnificent job, and I was pleased to congratulate her on her […] Today I’m heading off on a train to Morpeth in the Hunter Valley, to teach a Portuguese Whitework class. I’m sure we’ll have a lovely day together. Since getting back from the cruise, I’ve caught up on all the orders, and have even cleaned up my desk. (I needed to make room to fit my […] Just wanting to give you a little bit of prior warning: the Vetty Creations office will be closed from the afternoon of Friday 27th September until Thursday 10th October. I’ll be away teaching (at A Stitch in Time, Hobart), then going on a writing retreat to really get stuck in to my current book. During […] In a few weekends’ time (28-29th September) I will be teaching a new project at A Stitch in Time in Hobart. I teach in Hobart once a year, each time doing something different. So far I have taught Mountmellick embroidery and Portuguese Whitework. I love teaching down there, as the students are always so lovely […] Yesterday morning I finished the stitching on the last of my very large batch of class submissions. Yay! I then had to photograph it and write up the notes to go with it. There was a class description, kit contents, my classroom requirements etc. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to show you some […] Last weekend I spend the weekend in Canberra with a lovely group of women, teaching a Portuguese Whitework class for the ACT embroiderers’ guild. They were a delightful group of women, and highly accomplished stitchers. They made excellent progress with their hand towels, and worked to a very high standard. Thank you to everyone who […] Since coming home from our trip to Italy, I have been extremely busy with sewing. I got stuck straight into a big new project, and then after the recent retreat I taught at, I’ve been stuck into stitching the new projects for next year’s retreat. In all, I’ve been suddenly spending a lot more time […] |
