Today on White Threads FlossTube I have a number of updates for you. I ran a class in Smøyg here in town on the weekend, and I show you the fabulous results of my students. I provide an update on my now-no-longer upcoming Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler class in August and how it means I […]

Many years ago I designed a Hardanger needlecase for a class. I’ve enjoyed using it ever since, and it remains one of my most popular patterns. Today I show it to you. I also discuss the idea of an online event in lieu of (or in addition to!) the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. I’d […] Given we’re just over a month away from the new dates for the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair (1st-5th September), and Sydney is still in lockdown and looks like it could be for some time yet, I am really unsure that it will go ahead. Maybe the organisers will postpone it again. It’s hard […] I have talked about thread twist before in previous Wihte Threads FlossTube videos. Today I revisit it. In this video, I bust a few needlework myths, but primarily focus on thread twist and how it stays the same, regardless of what you do with the thread. Many people have had needlework myths passed on to […] In this White Threads FlossTube video I show you two examples of Hardanger with a sheer overlay. One is an evening bag, and the other is an unfinished project which helps to show and explain how the work is done. I encourage readers to pre-order/purchase my book “Frisian Whitework” from a small business (such […] Over the years, I have had contact with many people all over the world through my interests in needlework, my interaction in needlework-focused online groups, and through my business. People come and go. Some hang around for a very long time, and I’m so very grateful. Some move on to other interests. Sometimes I […] In today’s White Threads FlossTube video, I talk about www.stitchpalettes.com website and how it could be incredibly useful for embroiderers, and introduce the Monogram Cushion from “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland”. If you’re reading this in an email, you can find the video at https://youtu.be/UQyX3-La33M Episode notes: www.stitchpalettes.com – useful if you don’t […] When you do embroidery, are you always wondering what you can do with it once it is finished? Will you frame it? Will you make it into a cushion or pillow? Will you make it into a needlecase? Can it just be hemmed and left as is? OR, is the making enough? Does it need […] Today I explore fabrics for counted thread work. I show samples of aida cloth, so-called Hardanger fabric, so-called evenweave fabric, and linen fabric. This topic arose from me wanting to explain yet again what evenweave fabric means, and what it does not mean, and realising there was more that could be helpful to explain. #gallery-1 […] Today on White Threads Floss Tube I tell you about five books that have changed my life. The idea for this came from a friend’s Facebook post, where he wrote about five books that have changed his life. Now, he’s a theologian, so his selection is likely rather different to mine, with most of mine […] |
