If you were going to do a counted embroidery project using a number of needlepoint stitches (on evenweave fabric rather than canvas) would you like 1. step-by-step stitch instructions with diagrams that explain the steps how to do the stitch, and a chart to follow so you know where to put these stitches […] It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts. I’ve been a little busy doing dreadfully hard things like cruising, then getting back to normal at home, and getting on with some work. 😉 Firstly, take a look at the embroidery on the linked page and try to keep your jaw shut. I […] After yesterday’s post on Mountmellick embroidery, I was talking about it with my husband. He was trying to remind me of a visit we paid to a lady in Mountmellick who showed us a large embroidered bedspread that she’d borrowed from An Grianan to clean. I remembered the bedspread (probably because I have photos of […] I’ve been wondering about posting something like this for quite literally years. It will probably be controversial.

It is now live on the Vetty Creations website; just click on the preceding link. About a week ago I mentioned that I was going to put together a list of all the museums I knew of that had online searchable […] I’ve found a few things on the internet this week that you might be interested in.

For this, Francesca used my book Sardinian Knotted Embroidery and “Sardinian Knot Stitch” by Gioja Ralui to create the piece. She used information […] I belong to an online needlework group where the subject of flights and needlework comes up fairly regularly. Flights can be long and boring, which makes it seem like the ideal time to do some needlework. However, every time the subject comes up it is very frustrating, mostly because THE RULES FOR WHAT YOU […] Sometimes on a Saturday, I will try to find something visually inspiring in an online museum collection and post a link to it on the Vetty Creations Facebook page.
