On Friday the fabric I had been waiting for so that I could start a new embroidery arrived (it had been out of stock for a few weeks). On Sunday I was finally able to find the time to do something with it. I printed out my pattern that I designed some weeks ago, and […] I belong to a needlepoint group on the internet. (If I had more hours in my day, I could really enjoy doing some needlepoint, but alas we only get 24 hours. So instead I enjoy looking at other people’s needlepoint!) Yesterday someone posted a question: “Why are needlepoint patterns so expensive?” It has been interesting […] Yesterday I spent a lovely day with a few others exploring the collection at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild. I’ve been in the room once before, I think, but never really had much of a look at anything. We had a lovely time. I was there to be photographer (and whitework expert, I suppose), while the […] Mary Corbet has written an excellent article on the non-availability of fine white threads for whitework embroidery. This is an issue that has caused problems for me on occasions. When I was about to publish my Ukrainian book – which specified broder cotton No 12 as being the best thread to use – I suddenly […] The two books are making progress together. For “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” I have been continuing to work on promotional material, and for the new mysterious book I have been continuing to embroider, research and think through ideas. I personally like the idea of wearing hand embroidered clothing. It is embroidery that gets […] It was so interesting reading the responses to my post on the blog and its repost on the Vetty Creations Facebook page yesterday. Thank you for all the responses – they were very thought provoking. Some of you really tried to think laterally about how I might be able to not go on my research […] I can’t hold myself back. I’ve already started work on my next book. 🙂 I’ve done lots of planning, some research (over many years), and even some stitching. Let’s be clear here though, this is a book that I have now started three times, including this start. Each time the book idea changes just a […] Last night my fingers needed something to do. I think I’ve been missing stitching, since finishing off the book. I went and found the old Hardanger runner I’ve had floating around my office since I discovered it, unfinished in a drawer last year. Until I’ve figured out what book I’m going to do next, this […] Now that the book has gone off to the printers, my life has changed significantly. I took two days off at the end of last week – Thursday and Friday. It was really hard! I just kept wanting to get on with the next things for the book, and my mind kept thinking through the […] I thought you might like to know that I have finally completed the embroidery on my tablecloth! YAY! I still have the hem to do, which will be properly (and laboriously) hemstitched, so that will be a few more months work probably. I have also been making scrunchies (hair tie thingys) for a gym fundraiser. […] |
