The next episode of White Threads FlossTube has been uploaded. In this episode, I show you how to mount embroidery into a rectangular pendant bezel. For those of you reading this by email, you can find the video at https://youtu.be/R1MlGkoeppg Episode notes: Vetty Creations products mentioned in the video: Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway […] The next episode of White Threads FlossTube is now up. In this one, I show you my embroidered clothing for the day, and give a mini lesson about Mountmellick embroidery, explaining all the motifs from the Mountmellick Blackberry Table Runner from “Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature” by Yvette Stanton and Prue Scott. I also introduce […] You suggested, I created: my very first FlossTube video, showing you the embroidered blouse that I’m wearing, my Hardanger biscornu from “Early-Style Hardanger” and busting a myth about Hardanger embroidery. The threads and fabric mentioned in the video can be found in the Hardanger section of our online shop. http://www.vettycreations.com.au/catalogue-hardanger.html At this stage, we are […] I’ve been thinking about all this isolation and social distancing.

This morning my mind drifted towards my guild’s excellent library. I have spent time there, trawling through books, particularly trying to identify stitches that I’ve seen on historical works, trying to identify their […] I’ve wondered whether to write this post or not. I don’t want to alienate my male readers by any stretch of the imagination. I want to encourage them in their embroidery pursuits. However, I hope that this post might be helpful and/or thought-provoking for women embroiderers. Today is International Women’s Day (or it will be […] Following on from yesterday’s post about the right way to make stitches, if there are so many *right* ways to make the one stitch, how do I decide which methods to include in my books? Studying old smøyg collars at a museum in Norway I generally choose the method that was the most […] When you look at stitches on old embroideries, you come to realise something: there is often more than one way to make a particular stitch. For something as simple as cross stitch, there is more than one way to do it. Basically, you just need to make a cross. You can do \ first, and […] When I research for a book, I spend a lot of time looking at the front and back of embroideries.
