In my travels around the internet the other day I was looking for linen banding. Linen banding is rarely available here in Australia, so I usually have to look further afield. I was delighted to find the German company Vaupel and Heilenbeck. Vaupel and Heilenbeck are manufacturers of beautiful linen banding (they also do some […] 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 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 […] From time to time I receive emails from organisations asking me to submit class proposals for their upcoming event. Usually these are greeted by me with great excitement as I think of all the possibilities. Well, this morning I received a more unusual request for an expression of interest.

There are other foods […] A couple of day ago I received Sandra Leichner’s online newsletter update, an account of her time in Australia at Quilting in the Highlands. Sandra was one of the US teachers who joined us. You might enjoy reading her account. Michele Hill (of William Morris quilting fame) was one of the students in my […] Since putting my new pattern up on Facebook, my blog and on my website I’ve had a particular question a few times (or variations of it!). “Why don’t you sell this as a PDF download?” This is an excellent question, so let me answer it for you. PDF delivery is fraught with so many problems. […] I have received a Great Gatsby Hankie Watch report! From Emily, one of my long-term readers: Daisy Buchanan’s handkerchief for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby “I went to a screening of the movie last night. It was fabulous except I will have to go and see it again because I spent the whole movie […] While looking down my Facebook feed this morning, I found a link to this article on The Dumbing Down of the Quilting and Sewing Industry. Oh, yes, I do so agree. I know that mistakes slip through in my books and patterns sometimes, but it is my strongest desire that they do not! One of […] |
