Yesterday I went to my local needlework store to purchase some thread to go with the fabric I bought at the craft show. This will be for one of the projects in the new book. Ever since I saw the fabric and considered the possibilities for it, I’ve been itching to get started on it! […] A few of my readers who I met at the craft show mentioned how much they enjoyed reading about the process of writing my Portuguese Whitework book. I’m glad they found it interesting! Well, the new book has been decided upon! The craft show really helped me to crystallise one of my possible book ideas […] I learned yesterday on Facebook that Shingo Sato is coming to Australia! “Who is Shingo Sato?” I hear you say… Shingo Sato is a Japanese fashion designer and teacher of the Transformation Reconstruction technique. I used his techniques last year when I created Rainbow Girl’s rainbow dress. If I ever have the time, one day […] Occasionally I have comments from people wanting to know more about the embroidery examples in my books, The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. People seem to want to know the story behind them. For those of you who are familiar with my historical whitework books, seeing my stitch dictionaries for the […] I devoted a bit of time yesterday morning to doing some more on Luzine’s left-handed Schwalm. When I had started, I had automatically mounted the fabric into my embroidery hoop. But I was finding the coral knot stitch hard going with the fabric provided, in the hoop. When I do coral knot stitch in Mountmellick […] Today I have some questions for my Brazilian readers, of whom I believe there are a few.

Apart from the style of embroidery […] The other day I wondered if the coral knot stitches on the Schwalm embroidery that I am working perhaps would have been done with coton a broder No 12 – if it still existed! I asked Luzine Happel, the designer of the project, about this and this was her reply: “It was not used for […] I’ve started work on Luzine Happel’s left-handed Schwalm project. I’ve never worked with a project that has the pattern applied with an iron-on transfer before. I’m surprised at how dark it is, and how much the colour of the transfer transfers to the thread as I stitch. I’m used to my whitework being white! The […] An exciting parcel arrived here late last week, from Luzine Happel. It contained the fabric, thread, needles and thorough instructions for me to test drive Luzine’s left-handed Schwalm embroidery instructions. This is going to be an interesting project, and I am really looking forward to getting into it. I am thinking that the best way […] Yesterday I introduced the idea of a smartphone app based on my two books The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. I also put it on my personal Facebook page (to which anyone can subscribe to my public updates), and my Vetty Creations Facebook page. Because of this, I’ve had feedback streaming in […] |
